SUMMARY:Sculpture Creation
DESCRIPTION:Join Cotting School Visual Arts Teacher Bill Ironfield for a four-part series of classes to design and build a 3D sculpture together that will live on Cotting campus! The sculpture will be made out of materials like wood\, paper mache and industrial cardboard. All supplies will be provided\, and participants can expect to use all kinds of tools for art making and building\, such as hammers\, nails and paint. It will be a messy process–so dress accordingly–but a ton of fun! No experience required\, and you may choose to come to some or all four sessions in the series. \nAt this first session\, we will sit down as a group and draw up some sketches of what our sculpture could look like. We will try to incorporate the concepts of community\, inclusion and disability into our sculpture. In the following sessions\, we will design and build the sculpture until we end up with a finished piece that will be installed on campus outdoors for the whole community to enjoy.
