The sculpture program will enhance your creative abilities through developing a comprehensive understanding of three dimensional concepts and processes. The sculpture facilities provide students with well-equipped and organized studios for woodworking, welding, forging, casting and installation.

 

You will gain a strong understanding of tra-ditional materials, methods and theory while honing your ability to critically evaluate your own and peer work. To create sculpture, the material, form and idea must be carefully considered and interwoven. Mixed media approaches, nontraditional materials and contemporary concepts will be introduced and explored as you are encouraged to apply your fundamental skills towards the development of a distinctive artistic vision. This body of work will reflect your own goals as a visual artist and define your personal philosophy. These experiences and opportunities will prepare you for a sustained career as a visual artist.
