Studies in Wood and

Furniture Design

ART236

WOOD FURNITURE I

3 sem. hrs.

This course introduces wood as a material to develop

one's personal creativity and three-dimensional

design sensibility in regard to furniture. Methods of

woodworking are investigated, including the use of

hand tools, portable power equipment, stationary

machinery, and modes of finishing. Consideration is

given to the role of furniture and wooden objects his-

torically, functionally, and conceptually. Students

design and build projects with an emphasis on cre-

ativity, craftsmanship, and their ability to problem

solve.

ART237

WOOD FURNITURE II

3 sem. hrs.

This course builds upon the skills and techniques cov-

ered in Wood Furniture I. Students are encouraged to

further develop their personal creativity and design

sensibility, while broadening their technical knowl-

edge. Specifically, this course focuses on the use and

maintenance of hand tools, as well as types of joinery

used in box and cabinet construction. Prerequisite:

ART236 or permission of the instructor.

ART338

INTERMEDIATE WOOD

FURNITURE

3 sem. hrs.

This course is intended as a continuation of and

expansion upon the skills and techniques covered in

Wood Furniture I and II. Students are encouraged to

further develop their personal creativity and design

sensibility, while broadening their technical knowl-

edge. Specifically, this course focuses on the methods

of designing and constructing furniture used for seat-

ing, including bending wood, the ergonomics of chair

design, and basic upholstery. Prerequisites: ART236,

ART237.

ART438

ADVANCED WOOD FURNITURE

3-6-9-12 sem. hrs.

The objective of this course is for the advanced stu-

dent to further define and develop their personal

design aesthetic, producing a cohesive body of work

reflecting their interests as a furniture artist. The

focus will be on designing and building several furni-

ture pieces reflecting a common theme; they could be

perhaps for a specific purpose or location, or a design

well suited for production. Students will be encour-

aged to investigate alternative methods and materials

appropriate for use in their self-defined projects.

Prerequisite: Successful completion of six semester

hours in ART338 or permission of the instructor.
