The School of Art’s curriculum introduces students to a variety of conceptual and material approaches to sculpture. A candidate would contribute to undergraduate and graduate education, professional creative activity, and service to the academic community. Candidates will be expected to articulate their understanding of how systems of inequity shape disciplinary knowledge, typical practices in their field and university environments, and how those understandings inform their pedagogy. Candidates will have strengths in the following sculpture practices: installation, site-specific, digital fabrication, traditional methods, or other closely related areas.
