This foundation course introduces students to the key elements of sculpture. Working within the overarching theme of Transformation, students will develop their own sculptural ideas through a range of materials, techniques, and artist model influences. As the year progresses, their work will evolve from individual sculptural forms to more complex installations. By the end of the course, students will complete a portfolio that showcases their personal responses to the theme through a series of original sculptural works.

An achieved or better in Level 1 Art Visual or Level 1 Design and Photography is recommended, or by approval from HOD.
