Department of Art & Art History

Sculpture

Undergraduate sculpture courses allow students to investigate the material, social, and experiential world through a range of artmaking methods that link form and meaning. Students develop a strong knowledge of fabrication processes in traditional and non-traditional media including wood, metal, plaster, clay, plastic, resin, fabric, and found object. Students in upper-division courses investigate contemporary forms of practice including installation art, sound art, performance art, site-specific art, new media, interdisciplinary strategies, socially engaged art, and more. Students at all levels develop creative thinking and problem-solving skills as they learn to bring concepts and ideas to fruition in visual media.

Students are supported by faculty and studio technicians with a breadth of expertise and experience. The sculpture program provides students the opportunity to explore all manners of visual expression as they contribute to the evolving critical discourse in the field.
