Blake High School – Sculpture I

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

The purpose of this course is to give students a basic understanding of three-dimensional expressions in sculpture. The content includes studio production and appreciation in three-dimensional media such as plaster, clay, wood, stone, metal, plastics, and paper. The student will experiment creatively and broaden his perceptual field, developing an appreciation for sculptural form and its many uses and applications through the ages. Technique and compositional concerns will deal with the relationships in form, texture, and other visual elements in space. Modeling, forming, additive and subtractive methods of sculpture will be used to master representation or abstractions of the natural world.
