ART 283B — Foundry II
An examination of intermediate foundry practices for sculpture includes a more focused look into specific globally significant techniques. Students will continue to advance their skills in sand casting, wax working, and ceramic shell mold-making processes used in lost wax casting to create their own cast metal sculptures. Metal finishing techniques and patinas will be introduced. The course continues to grow the student's knowledge of metal casting as a geographically and culturally diverse artistic practice. Students will be asked to research and develop designs to create work that explores communication through personal and cultural expression. The course will expand students' knowledge of the operation of sculpture foundry equipment and casting production tools. (CSU)
