Building on the previous course, students use bent,plywood techniques to create furniture of their,own designs. Advanced students will develop,techniques that allow numerous objects to be,created from a single form. Students utilize,these advanced techniques and work independently,to design and fabricate a cohesive series of,furniture objects made with bent plywood,processes. Finish, details, and connections will,be emphasized.

The Survey and Methods course sequence provides an,introduction to six of the major studios in Art,Practice and Crafts/Material Studies. In this,dynamic course, students rotate in three 5-week,sessions through the areas of Metals, Print, and,Fibers/Textiles. Each five-week session provides,students with an understanding of materials,,processes, and protocols that are specific to the,context of each studio. Hands-on projects will,cultivate basic visual and technical skills as,students examine how material exploration can,drive innovation and shape individual processes of,making. Students will be guided to explore,critique methodologies while building vocabulary,to articulate their own creative intent and,analyze the work of others.
