Program Overview:

Sculptors use a variety of materials to realize their ideas in three dimensions. The Sculpture program focuses on both conceptual and technical elements within the arena of three-dimensional arts. Core classes provide fundamental principles of sculptural art and study of emerging fabrication methods. Students gain hands-on experience with traditional and non-traditional mediums, with electives enabling focused study in wood, metal, stone, mold making, and more. 

Learning Outcomes: Upon successful completion of the program, students
will be able to:

  • Operate studio and workshop equipment and use sculptural materials in a safe and appropriate manner.
  • Identify and evaluate sculptural techniques and styles.
  • Assess aspects of sculptural form as they relate to individual and cultural expression.
