FNDP 104 - Materials, Tools and Form

This course instructs students in those basic manual skills that help them build three-dimensional objects and spatial works. No prior experience with manual media or a portfolio of work is required. Paper and wood are the primary materials that are used to execute freestanding objects of various sizes, and all assignments include instruction on how to best use and extend the physical properties of these materials. Students are challenged to fabricate works with multiple parts as well as works that include some formal and mechanical complexity. Assignments that focus on the design of spaces and the modeling of environments are included. Instruction is conducted in the Foundation studio and wood shop, and all students are given an orientation to the safe use of that facility and all its power tools. Formerly FP 104
