Art - Area of Emphasis in Sculpture

The Sculpture major at UGA develops conceptual and technical understanding of both contemporary and traditional three-dimensional arts.

Students learn a wide range of techniques and hand skills in a 16,000 square foot facility equipped with two melt furnaces (250 pound bronze capacity); wax and sand casting; kiln; movable hoists; metal shop with welding torches, shears, and drill press; woodworking shop with saws, sander, and computer-aided router; figure modeling studio; plaster room; stone carving station with one ton boom crane; and computer lab for digital imaging.  Students are encouraged to investigate installations and public art interventions while developing a broad technical vocabulary.

An exhibition of work prior to graduation prepares students for professional sculptural activities and/or application to graduate school.
