Sculpture
The sculpture program curriculum provides a thorough grounding in many different materials and processes and is structured to enhance the student's ability to solve structural, spatial, formal, and conceptual problems. Seniors will produce in-depth work with a great emphasis on personal expression as well as concept-oriented problem solving. This body of work is expected to be significant in its degree of growth, consistent in theme and direction, and creative in its own expression and future direction.
Large-scale works are encouraged and are exhibited on the grounds of the CAC. This is optional in both the junior and senior year according to the student's development and ambition. Sophomores explore the various tools and techniques used in the wood and metal shops. Students concentrate on basic construction techniques and craftsmanship. Maquettes and drawings precede all projects produced, and critiques follow all finished work.
A wood shop and metal shop serve the Division. A plasma cutter allows students to explore cutting different metals, bronze, aluminum or stainless steel. The mig welder facilitates the constucting of forms with those various metals.
