Undergraduate Sculpture Studies

General Overview

The School's Sculpture program is designed to provide training for students to become professional artists and or prepare them for further study at the graduate level. The program has the objective of providing students a program which is designed to develop their perceptual sensitivity, aesthetic judgment, creative resourcefulness, and provides the skills necessary to express themselves. The area seeks to train artists who specialize in three-dimensional expression and sensory kinesthetics.

Coursework Overview

The sculpture area provides an environment that encourages students to explore sculptural ideas through research, process and materials and promotes art making as a personal, intellectual, discipline-based, communicative activity. At the undergraduate level students are exposed to historical and contemporary precedence in art making and are taught to think independently to gain an understanding of a wide range of sculptural concerns and processes. As students progress through the undergraduate program our goal is to have their work become increasingly self motivated and self directed. We consider sculpture an area encompassing both traditional media and experimental, conceptual work in new media, installation and performance. Our program strives to give students the freedom to experiment and encourages cross-disciplinary and collaborative practice.
