Art and Art History: Sculpture

After completing a preliminary three-dimensional design course, in which spatial relationships are explored in paper, wood, and clay, students begin a series of classes emphasizing both traditional and contemporary approaches to sculpture. Special attention to anatomical figure study is given in life sculpture and drawing courses. Professional moldmaking and casting methods are taught. Specialized courses in bronze casting and other advanced techniques have been offered in conjunction with studios such as the Johnson Atelier in Mercerville, NJ, and the Laran Bronze Foundry in Chester, PA.
