UNDERGRADUATE: SCULPTURE

In every class I’ve taken, the professors let us know that we are investigating the subject together. I really appreciate that mentality. There’s an openness — a freedom — in class, along with mutual respect. — Monica Martinez MFA ’08

At RISD, Sculpture is about the growth of the individual as a creative person who is able to realize strong conceptual ideas through the informed use of materials and the physical process of making.

Based around a hub of core undergraduate and graduate studios, the Sculpture Department offers students opportunities to enhance and inform their ongoing work with an array of workshops, intensives, electives and seminars. The curriculum is further enriched by RISD’s fortuitous location between Boston and New York, affording students ready access to museums, galleries, performances and other culturally rich opportunities. RISD’s close relationship with Brown University creates a fertile learning environment by enabling students of both schools to cross-register for courses.

The sculpture curriculum prepares you to think independently and critically; to gain a command of the technical processes inherent to sculpture as a means of realizing your ideas; and to develop a true understanding of sculptural issues. Throughout the program of study, you are guided and challenged by a committed faculty, and exposed to a wide range of work and philosophies by visiting artists, critics and an active, committed community of peers.
