The Three dimensional design course spent several classes learning about the work and approach of sculptor Richard Serra. More specifically students reflected on his verb list compilation created in the late 1960s for inspiration or purpose. Students chose an action from his list to illustrate in their sculptures. The focus in production for this unit was on mold making and casting. The students planned out hand gestures to incorporate in their sculptures and created molds by dipping their hands wax. The molds were thin filled with plaster of paris. Once they were dried the class began working on composing and installing their sculptures. Their final structures were to incorporate an additional medium, besides the hands, and also to include text in someway. The students really enjoyed the process and ended up with some outstanding work!
