Sculpture

Area of Study: Sculpture

We offer an art degree with a concentration in sculpture. At Brockport, we have a very democratic approach to sculpture—since it can be made out of anything, we treat a needle and thread, a welding torch, a saw, or a hot glue gun with the same importance. What matters is what you do with the material, be it plaster, steel, bronze, wood, fabric, paper, cardboard, feathers, or found objects. In sculpture, the inherent properties of materials are exploited for expressive purposes.

Facilities

We are fortunate at Brockport to have a small foundry for casting metal, welding equipment, stationery power tools for woodworking, industrial glue guns, and an assortment of other hand tools. The studio is generally and generously stocked with plaster, clay, wax, scrap metal, some lumber, and mold-making materials, along with a cabinet overflowing with miscellaneous memorabilia for students to use in the creation of sculpture.
