Sculpture
The sculpture course offers the interested art student his/her first in depth study of the application of sculptural material and what the student has learned previously regarding design and composition in three-dimensions, and builds upon this knowledge in the construction of media-specific imagery designed to simulate creative problem solving skills.  Additionally, students are introduced to prominent historical and contemporary sculptors and movements, practice the application of aesthetic judgment and evaluate their own work and the work of others.
