Course Description

Developments in Sculpture from the Paleolithic Era to 2000 Sculpture, like painting, has been a part of the human creative experience since the Paleolithic Period. Sculptural figures created were integral to their belief systems and tell us what was considered most important to the time. Materials used in sculpture vary from location to location. Technique will also be discussed. The work of sculptors such as Polyclitus, Praxiteles, Donatello, Michelangelo, Bernini and Rodin will be discussed. In the 20th century, we will. discuss Picasso, Russian Constructivism, Calder, Moore, Christo, Smith and developments in the 21st century. Some of the 20th and 21st century sculptors respond to new materials such as plastic, some to a changing aesthetic, some to the need to preserve and protect the environment and some just for fun. Instructor: Beverly Hall Smith
