 Return to: College of Visual Arts and Design
The mission of the concentration in sculpture is to promote excellence in three-dimensional design and sculpture through a comprehensive educational program designed to transmit our artistic heritage, lay a solid foundation of basic skills and concepts, foster critical thinking, and inspire creativity, so that each student may find his or her own aesthetic voice and successfully convey his or her concepts through three-dimensional form. Students of sculpture, by understanding issues of space, scale, and the relationship of the body to the built environment, contribute to the cultural, historical, and intellectual discourse of our time.
