This course introduces students to skills, techniques and processes of Assemblage as a sculptural convention. Students will develop works that explore the formal properties of assembled objects through a focused theme-based project. There will be limits to the scale of works which can be made and the palette of materials and processes that can be investigated due to time constraints and staff availability. Conceptual and thematic issues are addressed and occupational health and safety instruction is included.
