DIG 4138-0177 Nick Zuccarello Fall 2021

Welcome to the Introduction to Digital Sculpting. Traditional Sculpting has been available to human kind from the moment we were able to pick up clay and from it into a variety of shapes and sizes. We have produced amazing tools and forms of art since that time. And now just recently in the digital age we have a new type of sculpture that follows all the principals that we have learned through the ages in the traditional world but with a twist, unlimited virtual clay. Now we are only limited by our time and imagination for the shapes and forms that we wish to build, in fact I would argue that we now have the ability to create forms that were once impossible in the traditional world.

With the advent of cheap and reliable 3D printers, it is now possible to bring your virtual digital creations to life in a tangible physical form in the real world, opening a wide range of possibilities that were just not possible just a few short years back. It truly is a revolutionary time to be an artist, digital artist and more clearly a digital sculptor.

The goal of this course will be to not only introduce you to the world of digital sculpture, but to have you learn a specific set of tools to empower you to create a variety of shapes in forms that will set you on a path to unlock your own artistic visions and ideas.
