The Sculpture emphasis area within the Department of Art has a robust history of embracing the expanded field of sculpture. Therefore, students are encouraged to work broadly across a range of traditional sculpture materials such as wood, metal, and found objects, as well as time-based forms such as performance art, video, drawing, socially engaged practice, installation, and public art. Area faculty and instructors mentor students to develop their unique approach to making art based on finding the right form for their ideas as they evolve. Students are supported to engage in cross-disciplinary investigations and collaborations. The critical discourse within classes and Sculpture Area graduate critiques is complemented by individual studio visits with faculty and department wide visiting artist program. Our work is supported by excellent facilities, tools, and exhibition space that are overseen by a highly capable Senior Specialist within the Sherman Studio Art Center on West Campus.
