Cal Poly Humboldt's sculpture program gives students the tools to transform ideas into tangible three-dimensional form. From small, intimate objects to large, public sculptures, students develop the skills necessary to fabricate, carve, model and cast their own artistic vision.<br><br>Our approach to teaching sculpture combines discussions of contemporary sculptural issues with slide lectures, critiques and hands-on studio work. Our introductory coursework lays the foundation for three dimensional thinking and vocabulary. The intermediate-level courses introduce the technical side of working with metals and mixed media. Finally, our advanced courses encourage students to pursue a unique artistic vision with the skills developed throughout the program.<br><br>In addition to metal casting and fabrication, the sculpture lab also supports a large mixed media area with equipment for advanced mold making in urethane and silicone rubbers, body casting, water based resins with fiberglass reinforcement, fabrics and fibers, and experimental processes.<br><br>In addition to providing extensive studio experience and space, our program also offers several venues for students to exhibit their work, such as the annual Sculpture Walk.
