Bachelor of Fine Arts in Studio Art - Sculpture

University of North Texas

Break the mold and carve out your own future. The Sculpture program supports traditional, experimental and transdisciplinary approaches to studio art practice through broadening students' framework of understanding while increasing their capacity to think beyond convention. From found objects to large-scale public monuments, ancient ceremonial relics to immersive new media installations, the possibilities made available by such an expansive field are limitless.Students pursuing the B.F.A. in Studio Art with a concentration in Sculpture complete a final portfolio of original, cohesive work. As you graduate, you will have been empowered to develop a personal voice, a professional and creative practice, self-discipline, and cultural awareness.As a Sculpture major, you'll be challenged conceptually and technically, and much of your time will be spent creating original works. However, the curriculum also exposes you to all aspects of 3-D art and the different media in which to work, including computer-based design for digital fabrication.In the studio, students gain technical skills including woodworking, welding, metal fabrication, mold-making, casting, digital fabrication, public art proposals and installation practice. We encourage and direct the development of the individual student through a process of creative inquiry, conceptualization, realization and critique. Students may choose to focus on object-making, performance, installation, video or public art.
