Bachelor of Fine Arts in Art - Sculpture

University of Cincinnati

Sculpture students are exposed to a wide array of approaches, materials, and processes. Investigation into traditional forms and materials is balanced with experimental and ephemeral approaches. The area stands alone as a field of study or partners with other media areas to support interdisciplinary practices. All students have access to all DAAP labs. The introductory sculpture course develops competency in casting, welding, fabrication, and experimental processes. Intermediate students in sculpture explore focused studios like installation art, foundry, prototyping, metal, or wood sculpture courses. Advanced students work independently to develop a body of work as they develop their thesis projects. Many students develop their work in the interdisciplinary studio course where students work freely across media. All courses emphasize an immersive awareness of contemporary issues in sculpture and the expanded field through assignments, discussions, and conference participation.Sculpture students are exposed to a wide array of approaches, materials, and processes.
