Materials List for Beginning Sculpture Classes
Instructor: Alex Pimienta

In this class we will work in projects that deal with assemblage/sculpture or 3 dimensional structures, using wood, fabric, scraps, buttons, cardboard, or any unconventional material. Whatever you think would help you to express your idea best.
Consider the elements of composition, color, texture, shape and scale.

We will start by exploring rudimentary joining techniques and materials. After working with these materials briefly, the remainder of the time will be spent making 6 or 7 projects.
