Bachelor of Fine Arts in Art, Sculpture
The Sculpture concentration offers a practical education in three-dimensional design and conceptualization, along with hands-on experience in contemporary and traditional tool use, fabrication, and professional practices.
Students work with a wide range of materials, including wood, metal, silicone resins, and plastics. They learn to safely use handsaws, chisels, table saws, bandsaws, welders, laser cutters, 3D printers, and CNC routers. Students may also explore methods of metal fabrication such as plasma cutting, welding, mold making, and metal casting. Additionally, students may design and create permanent public works, including those in the City of Kennesaw.
This concentration offers small class sizes, allowing students to work closely with their professors. Students can participate in field trips to material suppliers, fabrication companies, and the studios of professional sculptors. They may also join the Sculpture Club, which provides time and space for creating and selling their work, as well as attending conferences and workshops.
Internships with fabrication companies like ID3 Group and AFX Studios are available for upper-level students, potentially leading to employment or connections with companies seeking individuals with similar skill sets. Students may work as studio assistants to nationally recognized sculptors, engage in the growing film industry, or become woodworkers, professional welders, or sculptors who create and sell public works.
