CHANGING EXHIBITIONS OF SCULPTURE

ADMSP will curate a series of changing exhibitions of sculpture in the natural sculpture rooms. The large sculptures shall be exchanged every three years. The smaller shall be exchanged every eighteen months.

The Tree Allées exhibit abstract sculptures that consist of 20th-century Western sculpture that rejects representation and has no starting- or finishing-point in nature.

The Dunefield exhibits contemporary sculptures that consist of sculptures from World War II to the present time.

The Maritime Garden exhibits figurative sculptures that are representational and derive from real object sources such the human figure, animal figure, and any other form that retains a strong reference to the real world.

The themes of the planned exhibitions are:

The Triumph of ModernismThis exhibition focuses on the the 20th century’s most important invention in sculpture: Abstraction (art that does not imitate the appearance of things). The Fascination of TechnologyThis exhibition focuses on towering sculptures characterized by the rationality, purposefulness, and the predictability of architectural design. New Departures 1945 - 1960This exhibition focuses on the post WWII shift toward redefinition and re-formation of the figure.

Post Modernism and MoreThis exhibition focuses on the radical shifts and new currents after the 1960’s such as Minimal Art, Arte Povera, Fluxus, Pop Art, Land Art and Installation.

Sample Programming for the Art Classes

The classes listed here are a sample of the types of art related classes ADMSP can offer to the community. Each can be modified for various age groups. Themes or topics can be suggested to compliment a wide variety of academic and community settings.

Elementary, Middle School, High School

Social Justice as Art: Identity, Community, Action: This 18 week course is comprised of three units, each juxtaposing a central social justice theme with 2D and 3D sculpture art forms. By engaging with art on this intentional level, artistic concepts and skills building become a vehicle for creative analysis of contemporary issues affecting the community.

Basic Concepts of Sculpture: The course develops students’ perceptual, creative, technical, and problem-solving skills in a sculptural context. Elements and principles of design are identified and employed. Aesthetic judgment is cultivated.

The History of Sculpture: A historical survey of sculpture from prehistory to the present, with emphasis on the development of Western art.

Drawings of Discovery: Students are introduced to fundamental concepts of drawing by studying scientific phenomenon (magnets, light, color, nature) and recording their findings in a sketch journal.

Portraiture: Students study the history and significance of portraiture and learn different techniques of portrait while exploring different mediums such as charcoal, watercolor, tempera, and clay to create portraits.

Watercolor: Still Life and Landscapes: This classical medium and approach teaches students basic painting skill, perspective and interpretation.

Paper as Art: Students learn techniques for folding, cutting, binding, and paper-making to create both functional and decorative art. This class could incorporate a creative-writing component to compliment projects such as book-making.

Unmasking Creativity: Working with various materials, students make masks from different countries and cultures around the world and discover how various techniques and symbols reveal ones identity.

Sound Exploration: Students build instruments out of found objects to understand principles of acoustics and compositional techniques.

Photo documentary: Students document a subject from their home, school, neighborhood through photography. Subject selection and technical aspects of digital and film photography are explored. Could include field trips to photo studios, digital labs and darkrooms, and a gallery show.

Arts Club: Explores a theme or topic of relevance to students through an interdisciplinary arts class.

Early Childhood

Arts Immersion: Music & Movement, Visual Arts and Literature connect ideas and create context for classroom themes. Using the arts as a lens for discovery, children might, for example, create fossils out of clay, learn about the ecosystem of a prehistoric forest using percussion instruments to imitate animal and plant sounds, understand the life of dinosaurs by imitating their movements through dance in a “Prehistoric Orchestra” unit.

This approach also provides excellent performance and demonstration opportunities for students and interaction opportunities for parents.

Shakespeare and Puppets: Student create puppets through collage art based on the characters and plays of Shakespeare.

Community

Social Justice as Art: Identity, Community, Action: This 18 week course is comprised of three units, each juxtaposing a central social justice theme with 2D and 3D sculpture art forms. By engaging with art on this intentional level, artistic concepts and skills building become a vehicle for creative analysis of contemporary issues affecting the community.

Basic Concepts of Sculpture: The course develops students’ perceptual, creative, technical, and problem-solving skills in a sculptural context. Elements and principles of design are identified and employed. Aesthetic judgment and good studio practice are cultivated.

The History of Sculpture: A historical survey of sculpture from prehistory to the present, with emphasis on the development of Western art.

Water Color: Introduce students to a variety of techniques including “wet on wet”, traditional dry paper, and use of blocking or salt. Have students select photos or pictures from magazines as subjects. Also bring in live flowers.

Collage: Using methods of decoupage and glazing, students will work with personal photos and gathered cut-outs to create a unique personal statement. Students will also create their own papers using decorative methods.
