研究范围
一年级/基础/二年级
以新生基金会的经验为基础, the sophomore level courses in the Division of 雕塑/维度研究 introduce you to a variety of ideas, 材料, and processes that provide a wealth of alternatives and a base of knowledge that you can rely upon as you continue to develop.
初级/高级
Progressing through the curriculum into the junior and senior years, 你会不断面临新的挑战, 无论是技术上还是概念上, which allows you to expand your artistic voice and to question the relationships that exist between 材料 and themselves within the context of contemporary art practice.
混合媒介雕塑/纸
The curriculum is designed to meet the needs of students who wish to work in cross-阀瓣iplinary ways, 以概念为重点. Materials are explored for attributes that contribute to the "reading" of the work. The introductory course investigates the qualities of 纸 as an inter阀瓣iplinary material within a mixed media potential that is easily integrated in 2-D, 3-D和4-D(基于时间的)研究.
