在3-D区域中，学生会发现空间形式的广泛范围。他们探索了各种方法，通过这些方法可以在雕塑和陶瓷中概念化和灵感化。当代趋势和对艺术发展的评估被融入到课堂项目中。作业挑战了创造力，并提供了用于通过三维形式进行交流的不同工具，材料和技术的基本理解。本科生在大型工作室中与研究生分享并互动，这些工作室配备了金属焊接，粘土模型制作和烧制，永久材料铸造以及木材建筑的设备。雕塑的视野已经发展到包括各种艺术作品，从而扩大了审美观念。为了响应当代趋势，雕塑作为一种艺术形式正在重新定义自身，以包括环境，装置和新媒体。我们的研究
In the sculpture concentration, students focus on advancing their skills, conceptual understanding, and artistic vision within the field of sculpture. Building upon their foundational knowledge from undergraduate studies, students engage in a deep exploration of sculptural materials, techniques, and artistic expression.<br>Technical proficiency is a key focus of the program. Students refine their knowledge of materials such as clay, metal, wood, plaster, or found objects, and expand their understanding of traditional and contemporary sculptural techniques. They experiment with different fabrication methods, carving, welding, casting, modeling, or assemblage, developing mastery in manipulating materials and realizing their artistic visions. Through hands-on work in the studio, students develop a strong command of both traditional and innovative sculptural techniques.<br>Conceptual development and artistic exploration are equally important. Students are encouraged to develop their own artistic voice and conceptual framework within the medium of sculpture. They explore a range of themes, concepts, and artistic approaches, pushing the boundaries of sculptural practice and engaging in critical discourse. They investigate the relationship between form, space, materiality, and meaning, and explore innovative approaches that challenge traditional sculptural boundaries.<br>The program incorporates critical theory and art history studies. Students engage in critical analysis of contemporary and historical sculptural practices, exploring theoretical frameworks that inform their artistic practice. They examine the socio-cultural contexts, aesthetics, and philosophical underpinnings of sculpture, deepening their understanding of the field and its broader significance.<br><br>Collaborative opportunities and interdisciplinary approaches are encouraged within the program. Students engage in collaborations with artists from other disciplines or explore the integration of sculpture with other media such as installation, performance, video, or digital technologies. These experiences broaden students' perspectives, foster interdisciplinary thinking, and encourage experimentation beyond traditional sculptural practices.
