AVA 235 - Digital Fabrication and Computational Craft

Course Units: 1

This intermediate/advanced sculpture course will build on skills developed in previous studio art and/or related interdisciplinary design courses. Students will learn to use CAD, 3D modeling and other design software packages and will work independently to develop and refine physical objects of art using advanced digital fabrication processes including laser cutting, CNC milling and waterjet cutting. Students will create and refine iterations, test materials and test different fabrication strategies, in order to design and fabricate a series of 4 sculptural works they will present in places. Prerequisite(s): Any studio art course, MER 101 , CEE 101 or instructors consent. CC: HUM
