Calder DVD works well here.
Working from contour
drawings really works well.
Students' task is clear & it
reinforces ideas from drawing
classes. Those who didn't
have drawing class I did lots
of one on one with.
Drawing can be intimidating
for these beginners.
Asymmetrical composition
remains the most unfamiliar
to beginners. Reviewing
symmetry/assymmetry for all
students helped.

casting realistic relief forms.
Each student will design
and create a Figurative

range
Artist DVDs enrich this
project; showed Louise
Bourgeois and others.
Adding sculptural elements to
these casts makes for
better projects. For
the students, this is a
matter of
obtaining/collecting
objects to use for this
or casting more
figurative elements to
use. This year student
and I scavenged the
trimmed trees on
campus – the tree
trimmers on campus
obliged!
Idea: Provide some scrap
materials on hand for this
and/or require that more casts
be made that could be
incorporated into the
projects.
All of this helped, especially
providing bases, epoxy &
drill for joining materials
together. Can college provide
drill, dremel tool, glue
gun???

the elements of art, media used, and the
content/meaning in a variety of three
dimensional forms.
Students will participate

Required more analysis this
time as well as description of
chosen art work. Car pooled
to the Getty Museum. Can’t
lose with this! Handed out
this assignment much earlier
so the success rate increased.
Students would really benefit
from a bus trip to the Getty
Museum or to the L.A.
County Museum of Art. Can
the college afford the students
this experience?
