Make a Bold Statement
Similar to the human form, sculpture is a three-dimensional embodiment of thoughts and ideas. Often used for announcement, declaration of honor or ritual purposes, sculpture has the power to motivate by connecting the analytical mind with emotions. Create your own visual proclamation with our BFA concentration in sculpture.
Start by developing your understanding of three-dimensional ideation and object construction, including inner and outer space requirements, environment, and scale. Progress by learning the importance of armature building, the absolutes of gravity and how to build expressional works of art through additive/subtractive processes including clay modeling, welding steel, wood construction, mixed media, carved stone or wood, and installation-based art.
