Sculpture and Design:
Transformations
We go that extra dimension.
In Beginning Sculpture and Design, students become familiar with the fundamental skills of art-making, develop visual literacy and practice artistic thinking.
The Advanced Sculpture and Design students will have the unique opportunity to explore a variety of advanced sculptural media and techniques including but not limited to throwing on the wheel, digital design, mold-making, plaster casting and advanced woodworking.

Exquisite Corpse creations
Artists: Rhys B, Jack H, Sani K, Aarya S
These ceramic Exquisite Corpse figures were inspired by a famous Surrealist game. From MoMA’s website:
A game in which each participant takes turns writing or drawing on a sheet of paper, folding it to conceal his or her contribution, and then passing it to the next player for a further contribution. The game gained popularity in artistic circles during the 1920s when it was adopted as a technique by artists of the Surrealist movement to generate collaborative compositions.
Our creations were centered around the students’ first-ever attempt at creating a thrown vessel on the pottery wheel. The wheel-thrown component forms the torso and is sized so that the parts are all interchangeable.
