Sculpture & Functional Art

BFA in Sculpture & Functional Art

Want to design, sculpt, cast, carve, and fabricate one-of-a-kind objects in metal, wood, plastic, clay, and mixed media? Our BFA students explore object making and three-dimensional thinking under the mentorship of a renowned faculty, all of whom are successful artists in their own right.

Make a living AND make a difference.

The work of sculptors and functional artists surrounds us — in museums, public gardens, city centers, galleries, office buildings, and in homes. These artists connect with the masses and engage the senses. They inject beauty and craft into unexpected places, asking us to explore and discover the inimitable appeal of art in the third dimension.
