Until the twentieth century, representation of the human form was central to sculpture. In modern and contemporary art, the scale of sculpture is directly related to the human form and a phenomenological experience for the body. This course will parallel the history of sculpture as a temporal and a spatially dynamic form. We will explore the mechanical form and functions of the body, the transformation of materials and the physical presence of temporal architectonic form. Visit the course website.
