Outline:
What is the role of the MATERIALS in the arts? Why do artists choose a certain material? Is it just an esthetic or convenient choice or is the motivation for the choice more complex? In the Advanced Art Course A I will introduce specific materials used in the three-dimensional art (such as plastic, glass, metal, earth and so on) with a main focus on contemporary Western and Asian artists. After the introductive morning lecture with a host of inspiring visual materials and essential background informations, the students will experiment with diverse materials and techniques, learning how to express themselves in three dimensional artworks, such as sculptural objects and space models.Each week the new results will be presented and discussed within the group. The course will also include the experience of a group making process.
Purpose:
The students will expand their knowledge about important artworks, tendencies in the arts and their complex background. They will achieve advanced knowledge in practising the arts, expressing themselves in diverse materials and techniques and will gain unexpected views on the specific character of materials and their creative use.
The class meets on four Saturdays, from 10.30 - 17.30 (lunchbreak included)
