Program Overview

Introduction to Sculpture Programs

The university offers two sculpture programs: a Master's study program and an undergraduate study program. Both programs aim to develop students into independent artists with a deep understanding of sculptural languages and techniques.

Master's Study Program

The Master's study program in sculpture is designed to help students develop as independent artists, mastering not only the basic knowledge and experiences that allow the creation of independent works of art but also the knowledge and experiences covering additional skills such as gallery systems, presenting and exhibiting, and the social and critical functions of art. The program leads to more in-depth knowledge and practices, encouraging creativity and artistic expression as well as artistic research.

Program Objectives

The program aims to:

• Develop students' independence and individuality in their creative work
• Encourage students to articulate and realize their ideas and concepts
• Foster creativity and artistic expression
• Develop artistic research skills

Program Structure

The Master's program is a project study that combines all the processes of artistic and theoretical work from an idea, theme, or reflection to the production and presentation in a gallery. The program culminates in a Master's Thesis, where students present their independence and individuality in their creative work.

Undergraduate Study Program

The undergraduate study program in sculpture is an interdisciplinary artistic study that gives students the opportunity to develop into broad and knowledgeable personalities. The program combines theoretical and practical procedures, allowing students to research, combine, and bring together broad theoretical areas.

Program Objectives

The program aims to:

• Develop students' curiosity and analytical skills
• Encourage students to carry out contextual research and identify various themes, forms, and procedures
• Foster an understanding of the complex relationships between material, content-related, formal, ontological, and imaginary layers
• Develop students' understanding of the social conditions for sculptural forms and their perception

Program Structure

The program is based on individual student work, assignments, and projects that encourage student reflection and analysis, an experimental approach, and the development of sculptural forms and procedures outside existing solutions and conventions. Students will learn about the past and modern sculptural languages and develop their own expressions, employing different aspects such as theoretical, practical, formal, material, and conceptual.
