0.50 Credit(s)
Studio
Prerequisite: FABR 3B01 Fabrication Studio: Digital-Bronze Casting or equivalent.
This advanced studio course presents an in-depth approach to processes related to bronze casting and digital technology. Students are encouraged to link 3D technology (3D scanning and Rapid Prototyping; 3D printing and CNC) with their hands-on analogue expertise in the making of 3D works cast in bronze or aluminum. Students are exposed to creative approaches to fabricating through combining a new digital medium with a traditional lost wax process for metal casting. Students explore the relevance of both analogue and digital spatial
environments, as they further develop their art and design practice.
Notes: Priority in registration is given to Sculpture/Installation Majors.

Please take special note that this course has material fees associated with it. New title: formerly Fabrication Studio: Advanced Bronze Casting
