Program Overview

Sculpture Program Overview

The sculpture program offers students the opportunity to develop their work in a supportive environment consisting of critical feedback in a broad array of diverse voices. The field of sculpture includes a varied collection of working methods and outcomes—one set of tools is not privileged over another—creating a healthy and experimental program that mirrors the issues facing artists outside of the institution. Students work independently in individual studio spaces and have access to common areas for the critique of their work. The program is housed in 36 Edgewood, which features a woodworking shop, a metal shop, and a computer lab, with additional resources offered by the School of Art and the University at large. No metal-casting or ceramic facilities are available.


Program Focus

The main focus of this program is to facilitate the development of conversation and constructive critique among students and faculty. The aim is to articulate student work vis-à-vis its own trajectory and in relation to art history and the current moment. This conversation is formally structured to take place one-on-one between students and faculty, in small groups, and within a larger group involving the whole sculpture department.


Admission

Approximately ten students are admitted each year.
