   As Associate Professor in the Department of Visual Arts at North Dakota State University, David Swenson is responsible for teaching 3-dimensional art classes including: ceramics, sculpture, design, and woodworking. His areas of interest include Korean and Asian Ceramics, wood-fired ceramics, functional ceramics, sculpture (including wood carving and metalwork), architecture, furniture design, and woodworking. In 2002, he was selected by Rotary International to participate in a Group Study Exchange to South Korea. There he examined how Koreans utilize different materials in their homes as well as in their artwork. As an artist, David Swenson focuses his ideas on how forms represent different materials and how they occupy space. Recently his work has been shown in several juried, invitational, and touring exhibits, stretching from California to Wisconsin.
