Advanced work in sand casting methods: one-part open-faced molds, and two-part flask, or cope and drag, molds. Explores some metals suitable for each method, such as lead, pewter, aluminum, and bronze. Foundry work is supplemented by a variety of visual presentations and demonstrations that address technical information, and the aesthetic use of metals in classical and contemporary sculpture. Advanced work is demonstrated by the application of metal casting to a specific studio project. Prerequisite(s): ART 397.
