Students are evaluated on the direction they choose. Technical and visual quality is the primary criteria for assessment. Students are introduced to a variety of technical approaches which include modeling, plaster mold making, flexible mold making, wood and stone carving, welding, and fabrication of all materials. Bronze casting is also taught, based on demand. The studio facility is approximately 5000 sq.
Some graduate space is also available.
Special workshops are taught occasionally to encourage students to design outdoor sculpture. These courses are usually based on available funds. All M.F.A. sculptors are encouraged to make a piece of sculpture for campus when possible. Private funding for the sculpture area has come from the Dr. Joe Morris Development Fund. A variety of career opportunities are open to sculpture graduates which include work in the automotive industry as clay modelers.
