This course is an intermediate-level investigation into the historical and contemporary sculptural practices using clay as the medium. Students will create a variety of sculptures, such as a portrait bust, an animal sculpture, an abstracted organic piece, and an architectural structure. An orientation to the processes of hand building will include pinching, coil building, slab building, modeling, and carving. Learn more about our Fine Art Program [here](https://www.fitchburgstate.edu/academics/programs/fine-and-performing-arts-concentration-interdisciplinary-studies-babs). ![Image_035-Mar-21-2024-12-09-56-1546-PM](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/Image_035-Mar-21-2024-12-09-56-1546-PM.jpg?width=1436&height=975&name=Image_035-Mar-21-2024-12-09-56-1546-PM.jpg) ![Image_017-Mar-21-2024-12-09-55-8962-PM](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/Image_017-Mar-21-2024-12-09-55-8962-PM.jpg?width=1301&height=934&name=Image_017-Mar-21-2024-12-09-55-8962-PM.jpg) ![Image_020-Mar-21-2024-12-09-55-8930-PM](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/Image_020-Mar-21-2024-12-09-55-8930-PM.jpg?width=1430&height=966&name=Image_020-Mar-21-2024-12-09-55-8930-PM.jpg) ![Image_036-Mar-21-2024-12-09-55-9359-PM](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/Image_036-Mar-21-2024-12-09-55-9359-PM.jpg?width=1092&height=823&name=Image_036-Mar-21-2024-12-09-55-9359-PM.jpg) ![Image_028-Mar-21-2024-12-09-56-0099-PM](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/Image_028-Mar-21-2024-12-09-56-0099-PM.jpg?width=1487&height=1031&name=Image_028-Mar-21-2024-12-09-56-0099-PM.jpg) ![Image_034-Mar-21-2024-12-09-55-9339-PM](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/Image_034-Mar-21-2024-12-09-55-9339-PM.jpg?width=1271&height=976&name=Image_034-Mar-21-2024-12-09-55-9339-PM.jpg) ![Image_027-Mar-21-2024-12-09-56-1619-PM](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/Image_027-Mar-21-2024-12-09-56-1619-PM.jpg?width=771&height=512&name=Image_027-Mar-21-2024-12-09-56-1619-PM.jpg) ![Image_024-Mar-21-2024-12-09-55-8577-PM](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/hs-fs/hubfs/Image_024-Mar-21-2024-12-09-55-8577-PM.jpg?width=1088&height=785&name=Image_024-Mar-21-2024-12-09-55-8577-PM.jpg)   Topics: [Humanities](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/topic/humanities), [Fine Art](https://blog.fitchburgstate.edu/topic/fine-art) ### Recent Posts ### Posts by Topic A-Z -
