This class is for advanced students who would like to improve their understanding of three dimensional art making and its concept. The focus is on the student’s project with a thorough consideration of theoretical and hands-on aspects of the particular student's art project. Related to the specific project, examples from art history and the contemporary art world will be presented and discussed. Students will be encouraged to present their project idea to the instructor beforehand, or in the first class, so the instructor can research and prepare the related examples.

Additionally, students will be invited to define their artistic intent and provide documentation of their idea projects (art history, Pinterest, etc.) as a base of the discussion around their concept. Based on the provided information, the instructor will assist students with documented series of slides, films, and research to expose students to a diverse sampling of historical and contemporary works.
