研究范围
一年级/基础/二年级
以新生基金会的经验为基础, the sophomore level courses in the Division of 雕塑/维度研究 introduce you to a variety of ideas, 材料, and processes that provide a wealth of alternatives and a base of knowledge that you can rely upon as you continue to develop.
初级/高级
通过课程进入初中和高中, 你会不断面临新的挑战, 无论是技术上还是概念上, which allows you to expand your artistic voice and to question the relationships that exist between 材料 and themselves within the context of contemporary art practice.
混合媒介雕塑/纸
The curriculum is designed to meet the needs of students who wish to work in cross-阀瓣iplinary ways, 以概念为重点. Materials are explored for attributes that contribute to the "reading" of the work. The introductory course investigates the qualities of 纸 as an inter阀瓣iplinary material within a mixed media potential that is easily integrated in 2-D, 3-D和4-D(基于时间的)研究.
