Page 1 of 7 THE OVERVIEW:
Material. Process. Exploration. Your hands see, and you communicate best with shapes, you manipulate materials with intuition and vision, with light and motion. Space is your playground, and you employ clay, metal, bronze, wood and found objects to create art from every angle. Sculpture is about vision that knows no up or down, and for those who see this way, it is a passionate means of communication.  The interaction between art and spatial environment as a means of communication is the basis for MIAD's Sculpture Program. Both concept and technical proficiency are emphasized: how to create meaningful communication, how to utilize space and light, how to be liberated by the mastery of basic sculptural techniques. The studio course employs group critiques, museum and gallery field trips and regular faculty consultation. There will be rigorous hands-on exploration and you'll see a constant interaction between your ideas and the materials in which you work. As you advance, your passion will likely specialize. By junior year, your work will be profoundly personal, with more one-on-one instructor interaction. At MIAD, you'll grasp sculpture's role as a link between art and community, between people and the spaces they inhabit. MIAD's Sculpture graduates are offered commission work and exhibit their work in galleries, museums, businesses and public spaces, or, go on to graduate school or prestigious post-graduate studio programs.
