Carvings 50,000 years old exist, and nearly every age following is represented by sculpture. Today the broad variety of materials and methods help keep sculpture fresh and lively. Sculpture manifests itself not only in visually-important forms but functional ones as well.
Sculpture is a growing area of the department.
The direction of emphasis ranges from traditional to 'cutting-edge'. The student is encouraged to develop in a way appropriate to his own specific needs but is also expected to become familiar with the wide range of options open to the sculptor today. Books, magazines, slides and videotapes are available in the sculpture studio. Pursuit of exhibition opportunities are encouraged, as are ties with professional sculpture organizations.
