Goals and Timeline
The European Art Academy Trier offers a special highly qualified
nine-week intensive program in sculpture in 2007. the aim of the
course is to give participants the knowledge over sculpting techniques
and materials and let them develop their own artistic work method.
To cover the vastness of three-dimensional expression, participants
will learn both traditional as well as experimental techniques.
Both the material itself as well as the aesthetics of three-dimensional
objects allow for free artistic exploration of the medium.
The program is split into three segments. The first four weeks deal with figure drawing and sculpting in clay, constructing sculptures with plaster as well as wood, stone and metal. After the Easter course, lasting two weeks, the end of the course focuses on sculpting concepts and free expression. The last three weeks also further cover techniques and properties of the participant’s chosen material. Participants transfer concepts from paper into three-dimensional objects.
In large, well lit studios and the surrounding areas, professional equipment is available. The lecturer Peter Rübsam (Düsseldorf) is a trained artist and has long time teaching experience in the different fields of sculpture. Classes take place the entire and are taught by the lecturer and his assistant Anna-Dorothea Eiber.
