ART 480 - The Art of Small Bronze Casting

3 Credits

This course is designed for both beginning and advanced level students in the exploration of the process and the world history of bronze casting. Students will investigate one or more cultures known historically for their bronze casting and integrate those styles into their own art work. During the semester, students will participate in all aspects of the bronze casting process: creating the artwork, investing, wax burnout, bronze pouring, chasing, finishing, patination, and presentation.
