As a guide to introductory three-dimensional design or sculpture, Shaping Space offers an engaging, in-depth
exploration of the aesthetic and practical considerations of working three-dimensionally. Now in full-color throughout,
the text explores the latest changes and applications in the field including computer-aided and computer-made sculpture,
craft techniques, multicultural art, art as social commentary, architecture and industrial design conceived sculpturally,
public sculpture, sculpture parks, installation pieces, and performance art. To help introduce and broaden three-dimensional
awareness and technical skill, suggested studio projects provide structured assignments that relate directly to
textual materials.
