SCULPTURE

The practice of sculpture is at best, a holistic experiential process for self- expression, understanding and personal growth. The course is designed to cater for students' interests and needs, to further their development in spatial dynamics and covers the main principles of sculptural production; that is carving, modelling, construction and casting techniques.

The sculpture department is situated in Grant House at Carinus Art School and boasts a beautiful spacious studio in which learners undergo a three-year course aimed at unleashing their creativity. Adjacent to the drawing and modeling studio is an excellent casting studio, metal workshop and woodwork facility. Students are introduced to traditional materials such as clay, plaster of paris, cement, steel, wood, plastics, found objects and papier maché.

The course is comprehensive and learners engage with intellectually challenging projects designed to develop personal creative expression and practical skills. Drawing forms the basis of this creative discipline where emphasis on three-dimensional drawing skills is paramount.

The sculpture course can be seen as a creative journey whereby the student develops life-skills, knowledge and values essential to personal development. The process of creating a sculpture mirrors the process of creative growth. Through this process of self-discovery, the student achieves greater self-confidence and awareness.
