In this course, students extend skills, techniques and processes in the discipline of sculpture. Through close consultation with staff, students will develop a focused Independent Work Proposal to develop works that identify areas of interest with the possibility of drawing on ideas developed through their major study. Conceptual and thematic issues are addressed and occupational health and safety instruction is included.

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

1. Demonstrate increased level of skills in techniques, processes, use of specific equipment and technologies
2. Exploit the characteristics of materials and processes in an individual way
3. Apply concepts to the development of works of art
4. Show increased awareness of historical and theoretical contexts relevant to the course
