SCULPTURE 1-104 — 3 UNITS
Course covers a study of the structure of the human form. It will provide for a full knowledge of modeling and a basic approach to carving.
SCULPTURE 11-204 — 2 UNITS
Course emphasizes organization of sculptural forms. It includes an
analysis of great forms in sculpture, past and present. Carving in at
least two materials on problems related to architecture and decoration.
Sculpture of great epochs will be analyzed for aesthetic and technical
puruposes.
SCULPTURE III-304 —5 UNITS (FIELD OF CONCENTRATION)
Course requires completion of Sculpture I and II or their equivalent
as a pre-requisite for entry. It will be devoted to advanced composition,
an analysis of the various techniques of carving, casting, and of application to architecture. Close collaboration between students and faculty
of sculpture and those of ceramics will be expected, thereby in all
probability opening significant new opportunities for both sculptor and
ceramist.
SCULPTURE IV-404 — 12 UNITS
Based upon techniques acquired in Sculpture III. Covers a full year
devoted to a major project agreed upon in conference by the student
and the head of sculpture. Special studio space will be assigned, and
students will be responsible for all necessary study material and compositional solutions preparatory to the final organization of their work.
Sculpture IV will allow the student full creative expression. The project
may range from objective to non-objective objects, carving, modeling,
free-casting to large architectural forms. The final project will be presented to the faculty upon completion, in order to determine the student's
status in reference to graduation. Permanent projects relating to permanent Los Angeles County buildings may be offered a student of superior talent.
CERAMICS III-305 (FIELD OF CONCENTRATION) — 5 UNITS
A thorough study of techniques on kick and power wheels; chemistry of
glazes, bodies and firing; design of form and shape with concern for
usage will be given serious consideration; basic problems of relating
ceramic sculpture and decoration to architecture will be introduced.
CERAMICS IV-405 — 12 UNITS
A senior project, to be determined in conference between the student
and Head of Ceramics. Full consideration of the use of ceramics in
industry, architecture and related problems based on creative expression, will constitute the foundation of each senior project. Continuation
of work on the wheel; research in chemistry and form will continue.
The project allows full creative freedom to the student, but will demand
the most complete knowledge of the ceramic field. Projects may range
from high personal expression to a most carefully related problem of
