Students
enrolled in the Sculpture Workshop receive instruction in
the diverse range of traditional and contemporary media.
Undergraduate courses in Sculpture emphasise study through
a closely monitored program, which expands the student’s
critical and technical skills. Early projects establish
the development of techniques which may include casting,
carving, modelling, construction, forging, electric and
gas welding, wood working, installation and performance.
Drawing is a key component of the program which assists
students in the development of a variety of modes of expression,
and Studio Theory classes provide students with an understanding
of the various contexts for making and discussing sculpture.
As
the course progresses emphasis is placed on self-directed
projects which students develop in consultation with Workshop
staff. Progress is monitored through individual tutorials,
group critiques, reviews and individual assessments where
work is presented to peers and/or staff for critical appraisal.
Graduates
of the Sculpture Workshop have developed successful careers
as artists, teachers, curators and in other related fields
of the visual arts. Some have gained international and national
recognition through winning commissions, major awards and
scholarships, study overseas and representation in major
exhibitions
