Bachelor of Arts [B.A] [Sculpture] From Washington University

The College of Art is a high-energy place, where aspiring designers and artists come together. During your time here, you will learn to make things; carefully examine people, communities, and situations; communicate with diverse audiences; and advocate for positive change in the world. Your study will be rigorous and rewarding, challenging and fun.

Washington University is an internationally recognized research institution where you can take courses in art history, psychology, gender studies, computer science, literature, business, science, and everything in between. Our classes are taught by leaders in their fields, working on global challenges.

In sculpture, you will be challenged to produce objects and actions of meaningful communicative power. You will explore a range of materials, from clay to metal to wood; lectures and historical readings provide opportunities to reevaluate the meanings these primal materials bring to contemporary practice.

As you advance in your studies, you will investigate the sociopolitical issues of the body, the figure, and their potential in contemporary art practice through a variety of media and methods, with an emphasis on three-dimensional work and object-based performance.

You may also explore numerous scenarios that create different levels of sculptural interactivity, constructing devices ranging from simple mechanisms to large-scale installations that foster physical, analogue, or digital interaction between the viewer and the sculptural environment.
