ARAD 4322 - Small Metal Casting

Three credit hours.

Casting will be explored as a method for developing three-dimensional forms in metal derived from constructed and found models. Students will investigate direct and machine enabled methods of mold making and casting. Additional processes surrounding mass production of components will be considered in this course. Alternative methods and materials for casting will also be introduced in this course. An emphasis will be place on combining previously learned techniques with newly acquired techniques in a method that is visually cohesive and technically proficient.
