What is Sculpture?
Sculpture is an art form that can include more than just art objects – often incorporating sound, moving image, installations, site, time, and smell beyond the pedestal.
RIT’s Sculpture Degree
In our sculpture degree, you will build your creative practice through traditional materials and techniques paired with new technologies and contemporary approaches. Learn to use space to create sculptural objects, installations, performances, and more by studying materials, processes, and techniques including:
Through these tools, you will develop critical thinking skills and creative growth in work spanning from large-scale public sculpture to social practice while embracing your individual creative path. The sculpture and expanded forms option is part of the Studio Arts BFA program.
What’s different about an RIT education? It’s the career experience you gain by completing cooperative education and internships with top companies in every single industry. You’ll earn more than a degree. You’ll gain real-world career experience that sets you apart. It’s exposure–early and often–to a variety of professional work environments, career paths, and industries.
Cooperative education, internships, and other experiential learning opportunities are optional but strongly encouraged for students in the BFA in studio arts.
