Honors Sculpture and Design
Students study in depth in areas of their own choosing through individual research and manifest in the creation of both assigned and self-developed projects. Students will use problem solving and ideation to identify areas of interest. Outcomes may range from traditional craft such as functional pottery to digitally designed architectural projects or mixed media sculpture.
I believe the most important part of my artwork is the creativity and my desire to always try to make something different than the rest of the group.

Today, with all the tech we use there is something peaceful about making works that are not digital and are tangible.
-Annika B.
Works shown: Artist Studio, mixed media and 3D printed PLA, Cockroaches (attraction/repulsion), mixed media sculpture, Mask, paper mache and mixed media
I think the most important thing about an artwork is Realizing the work that went into it and that it is not just materials put together without any thought.

Works shown: Age of innocence collaboration (with Blake M) mixed media sculpture responding to the Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton, carved wood, 3D printed PLa and Core Values Relief- Courage, modeled plastilina clay
What motivates me to create art is making things that I truly enjoy and the idea of making something that myself and others enjoy really motivates me to create more.

What motivates you to make your work?
Getting to pick my piece and go off my own ideas motivates me because I can see the progress that rooted from my ideas and it always feels good finishing a project that I chose to do myself.
