SCPT 499: Fully Furnished

During the spring quarter 2009 Professor Cindy Hartness taught a special topics class: SCPT 499 Sculptural Furniture. The goal of the course was to use furniture as a vehicle to explore sculptural form and content.
The highlight of the course was an exhibit entitled "Fully Furnished". In the exhibit students in SCPT 499 and the SCAD Sculpture Forum collaborated on an installation of sculptural works of art in a home located in the historic district of Savannah.

This provided students with an opportunity to get the works out of the classroom and into a more dramatic context. The event was made even more festive by the music of "Rose and the Rivals". More Photos from the exhibit can be seen here.
