TNEED TEXT: get alex....Sculpture and Performance
Art Workshop The Scottish Sculpture Workshop is located in the village
of Lumsden in rural West Aberdeenshire. Lumsden (Aberdeenshire)
is a small village set in the foothills of the Highlands, between
the Coreen Hills and the Ladder Hills. The Scottish Sculpture Workshop
is at the north end of the village. In 1979, Fred Bushe took over
the buildings of the Strathbogie Bakery, and secured the support
of WASPS (Workshops and Artists Studio Provision Scotland) to start
the workshop.
Through this program you will be able to study for 3 or 6 CU-Denver
credits in Sculpture (FA 4340/5340) and Performance Art (THTR 4560/5560).
Students are encouraged to take both classes. Both instructors feel
strongly that collaboration between the visual artists and performance
artists in this type of program will greatly enhance the work of all
involved.
The historical and contemporary sculpture and architecture
of Scotland and its relationship to the cultural and social record
of the country will provide the backdrop to your artistic experience
in Scotland. You will apply this knowledge of Scottish culture and
develop works that are relevant to your individual identity. The
concepts of time, place, and materiality will be investigated. There
will be collaborative exercises with performance students that will
explore issues of identity construction that are significant in
creating personal works of art. Sculptors will work in facilities
fully equipped for stone, wood, metal and foundry (iron and bronze).
Technical support is provided in all areas.
Explore the creative process through exercises designed
to tap into your imagination. Scottish literature, both classic
and contemporary, will provide the starting point of our exploration
of the relationship of words, themes and images to the Scottish
countryside, culture and art. You will read the literature, tour
the countryside, visit castles and ruins, art museums and galleries,
attend ceilidhs and plays as you collect your own impression of
Scotland. Theatre/performance artists will find inspiration in the
rich cultural heritage at the area. Workshop space will be utilized
for mask making and/or puppetry. Sculptors and theatre artists will
present and perform at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival at the conclusion
of the program.
Accommodation
Dormitory type accommodations with two kitchen facilities are arranged.
