Sculpture and Ceramics Minor
About the Sculpture and Ceramics Minor
Sculpture is process oriented and experimental, combining the development of intellectual and manual skills in a dynamic studio environment. Students pursue their individual artistic interests through work in traditional and new genre sculptural practices including site-specific installation and collaborative work. Students have access to a woodworking shop, ceramics studio, plaster & fabrication facilities, and digital technologies, to create art in conversation with our time.

Sculpture and Ceramics Minor Experience
Students develop an understanding of materials and form in the sculpture as well as ceramics studios. The student’s conceptual intentions and how they take place in form are expanded and challenged in all 3-dimensional media as we connect making to meaning. The relationship of site to space and inquiry into the nature of contemporary sculptural issues are important explorations for the sculptor and student.
Powerful Combinations: Sculpture and Ceramics Minor
Students from the disciplines of Architecture or Engineering might be interested in the more expressive forms of the built environment while students in Art and Architectural History may see sculpture and ceramics as a vehicle and vessel of ideas. All forms of expression are encouraged from the utilitarian to the conceptual.

Student Work in Sculpture and Ceramics
The Visual Arts program at Â鶹ɫÇéƬ is interdisciplinary by design. Students are expected to explore a range of media from painting and ceramics to photography and video. Through the experiences of different media, students are challenged to find their own voice as an artist in work that reflects their individual aims and interests. Our students develop proficiencies in several media, often combining media in new and unexpected hybrids. Students in VARTS at Â鶹ɫÇéƬ routinely make high-quality work that we are proud to display throughout the campus community in our Art on Campus program.
