Fall 2018 – Chance Drawing + Sculpture: The Cracks and the Dice

CHANCE DRAWING + SCULPTURE: THE CRACKS AND THE DICE
Joanne Easton
5 sessions >> Tuesdays, September 11–October 97:30–10:30pm, Studio 105, $295
No prerequisite.
 In this course, we will explore methods of chance, randomness, and indeterminacy as a means of discovery. Through drawing and sculpture, we will explore processes that rifle out artifice and upend the known to transform and reset, re-present or renew. Class time will be devoted to studio work, lecture, discussion, and demonstration. Personal projects will be guided and inspired by purposeless play and chance exercises. There will be two assignments and daily exercises.
