    Always a Logger! Just because you're not still living on campus and visiting the Cellar for pizza doesn't mean you have to be disconnected from what's happening on campus!

Introductory Sculpture classes are hands on studio classes in which students learn principles of three dimensional design. Advanced classes are small and independent, with a focus on techniques, communication, and creating a body of work

Sculpture students master distinct processes, an understanding of the principles of design, a familiarity with art history, and sensitivity to expression in visual language. They also form the ability to synthesize formal and conceptual issues and develop an understanding of how visual art relates to contemporary culture.
