Digital 3D modelling - Introduction

The transformation of the sculptor from a performer with, e.g. clay, to someone who trains computers to process data for new 3D images, or simply asks the computer to produce a 3D model, is naturally altering the perception of what it means to make visual art and who makes such art. In a teaching context, an important question concerns what should be taught in the visual arts and how the increasing digital entanglement in all practices should be handled in the various disciplines of the teaching subject.
