dc.description.abstractThe purpose of this study was to develop relief sculptures from waste eggshells as an alternative material for School of Art and Industrial Design Kyambogo University. It was conducted under three objectives namely; to identify different waste materials that have been used to create sculpture at the School of Art and Industrial Design Kyambogo University, to execute design concepts for producing relief sculptures from waste eggshells for School of Art and Industrial Design, to develop relief sculptures from waste eggshells as an alternative material for School of Art and Industrial Design. This study was qualitative in nature and a case study research design used to gain information about waste materials for sculpture and provided an opportunity for innovation. Purposive sampling technique was applied based on sculpture students and lecturers who were practicing sculpture at the School of Art and Industrial Design. The researcher used interviews, direct observation, photography, Library and archival search methods to fulfill the study objectives. The information from different students and lecturers was gathered using interview guide, observation check list, reading list and studio practice guide which directed the researcher during studio exploration. This study observed that conventional materials like clay, cement and wood were commonly used for the production of relief sculptures at the School of Art and Industrial Design. This was due to the complexity of creating relief sculptures that came along with representing figures within a limited space which tended to be difficult while using waste materials like plastic bottles, polythene among others thus discouraging students. The study findings presented in both text and photographic formats were interpreted in consideration of techniques and material. They affirm that eggshells are a reliable and flexible waste material for the production of relief sculptures. This study recommends that waste eggshells can be used as a material by other universities and institutions of learning and also prototypes used for study purposes.en_US
