Sculpture & Ceramics Area
The sculpture & ceramics area takes an interdisciplinary approach to exploring traditional and modern three-dimensional media. In the ceramics coursework, you will explore slip casting, mold making, hand building, and wheel throwing methods as well as the processes of forming clay, glazing, and firing. The sculpture portion of the curriculum will investigate methods including modeling, carving, casting, and construction, and more specifically, mold-making, wood working, metal working, and other mixed media techniques.
You will synthesize the ceramic and sculptural systems with both traditional and contemporary tools such as digital modeling, 3D printing, laser cutting, and other digital fabrication methods. As you move through these programs, you participate in group critiques and discussions around artwork within contemporary, regional, national, and international art communities.
