METAL ART/TECHNOLOGY
STUDENT ARTWORK: ART 317-417

Students in these advanced courses explore a range of conceptual and technicial solutions as determined by the needs of the project along with particular thematic constraints. Beyond the basic techniques that are introduced in ART 217, the following is a list of techniques regularly utilized in the advanced courses: hammer-forming (sinking and raising), anodizing, settings, resin casting, digital fabrication (3D modeling/printing). Interdisciplinary approaches are always encouraged.

These five images are examples of a variety of projects completed by advanced level students:
Wearable Prints (incorporation of printmaking)
Body as Place (wearable maquette for large sculpture)
Contain the Uncontainable (incorporation of fabric and metal work)
Hidden Meanings (anodizing, setting, poem)
Engagement (cast resin, personal artifact)
