Description
This course will introduce you to some of the techniques used in sculpture making with the aim of creating interesting and experimental 3D pieces.
The process of armature construction will be used to create small to medium sized works. You will start off with a concept of what you would like to make, and use drawing as a way of visualising how you would form wire into an armature construction. Afterwards you will be taught various techniques of applying plaster, and reducing it to achieve the final sculpture.
You will be able to explore ideas/concepts within your work or simply enjoy the practical nature of learning this 3D method.
Note:
Please note there will be a material fee of $40 to pay directly to the tutor for material provided.
THE 6 WEEKS COURSE WILL RUN OVER 7 WEEKS FROM WEDNESDAY EVENING 22 FEBRUARY TO WEDNESDAY 5 APRIL (NO CLASS ON 15 MARCH)
EACH CLASS WILL START AT 6PM AND FINISH AT 9PM.

VISA AND STUDENT LOAN:
Short Courses offered under the Continuing Education Programme at Whitecliffe are non-graduating (non-credit) which means that students enrolled in any of the courses are NOT eligible for a student loan and will not receive a certificate or a diploma. These courses are not full time and while international students are welcome to enrol in them if in New Zealand on a valid visa, the courses do not create eligibility for a student visa to study in New Zealand.
International or New Zealand Students interested in full-time study in arts or design are advised to consider an application to the Certificate Programmes and Bachelor of Fine Arts programmes offered at Whitecliffe.

SCHEDULE:
Whitecliffe College of Arts & Design is a Tertiary Education provider and as such follows the University calendar. Therefore, some courses may start on a school holiday week.
Terms at Whitecliffe run over a seven-week period, but evening courses consist of six classes which run from 6pm - 9pm on weekday evenings. Each class will, therefore, have a one week break in the fourth week of classes when Whitecliffe Undergraduate Workshops are held. If a class needs to be cancelled, it will run on the next available day or by arrangement between the tutor and students.

Full payment is required to confirm your place in any course.
