Sculpture involves the techniques and processes of creating three dimensional forms and images by modeling or carving construction, casting etc.

 

The department believes that modern sculpture by its very definition seeks to break traditional barriers imposed upon three –dimensional visual expression. It encourages students to bridge the boundaries to develop an strong methodology and deeper understanding for the production of their work between traditional sculpture and other new trends like environmental sculpture and installation. We believe in not limiting the methods or materials we use by what has traditionally been used. The students are encouraged to give form to their ideas and concepts and special care is taken to awaken in them a feel for the three- dimensional medium. Carving in stone, bronze casting, wood carving and plaster, assembling of scrap iron and other miscellaneous object, form the backbone of our curriculum. We wish our sculptors to have the creativity and verve of the artist, the ingenuity of the structural engineer and the soul of the poet.

 

Objective

Through the language of three dimensional forms Sculpture provides a common denominator for the many related disciplines such as Architecture, Design, Imagery, Expression Function in form and structure blend-in a process that is both introspective and communicative on multiple levels. Courses of studies in Sculpture have been planned with emphasis on the creative expression as well as practical/ technical aspects of the student’s developments.
