The Sculpture program provides a comprehensive view of sculptural practices, applications, theories, and history, with an emphasis on trends in contemporary art. The first year focuses on the foundations of art in design, drawing and art theory. In the second year students who select a concentration in sculpture are provided with a comprehensive studio experience focusing on practical skills and language required to further develop sculptural concepts. In the third and fourth years, students continue to develop skills in material selection, technique, and application, but are also expected to develop their own voice and dynamic approach to their work. In the final year, contemporary sculptural topics are explored along with critical theory and professional practices.
