The sculpture program offers a range of experiences in making three-dimensional art objects in a well-equipped studio. The studio accommodates the additive, subtractive and transformation processes.Equipment for arc, tig and oxygen-acetylene welding is provided for the teaching of additive methods. For the transformation process, there is an excellent foundry for casting bronze and aluminum, including facilities for several mould-making techniques. For subtractive methods, there is equipment for stone and plaster carving.

  Classes offered as part of the emphasis include:

• ART 360 Introduction to Sculpture I
