Session 3, Sculpture: Flat to Form

Learn how to give form and shape to flat materials. Experiment with materials including fabric, cardboard, paper, wire, plaster, and plastic, while referencing the work of artists including Amanda Browder, Taylor Hokanson, Anila Quayyum Agha, Claes Oldenburg, and Martin Puryear. Projects include representational and abstract approaches, challenging students to think critically about form, structure, and the viewerøs experience. Field trips, artist talks, and critiques deepen understanding of how scale, dimension, and balance give sculpture its voice. Visits to the Art Institute of Chicago allow students to study iconic works up close and connect classroom learning to world-renowned collections. Performances and artwork that are temporary or that cannot be easily transported will be documented through photography and/or video.
