美术学士学位（雕塑和综合实践）

普拉特（Pratt）的雕塑与综合实践专业的学生探索动态学习环境中反映当代实践的多种媒介，技术和思想。雕塑课程围绕核心工作室和选修课程构建，这些课程研究各种概念方法，媒介和过程。学生可以使用广泛的木材，金属和陶瓷工作室/商店以及先进的数字媒体和替代媒体。该课程逐步发展为精通概念，流程和工具，因此，高三学生可以在自己的工作室里独立工作，在公开演讲，个人和小组评论的课程结构中发展最先进的作品。毕业年的高潮是在向公众开放的普拉特校区的BFA论文展览中得出的。
Explore a multitude of media, techniques, and ideas reflective of contemporary sculpture and integrated practices in a dynamic learning environment. You will investigate diverse conceptual approaches, media, and processes through core studio and elective courses. All first-year students take the Foundation program's core curriculum, along with required art history and liberal arts courses, and begin the fine arts major curriculum in the fall of the second year. While continuing with their required art history and general education coursework, second-year students take more focused courses in their chosen area of emphasis, whether painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture and integrated practices, or jewelry. In addition to their studio requirements, all fine arts students take a series of departmental seminars that address social, historical, and critical issues in contemporary art. Beyond their major requirements, students may use elective credits to take courses of their choosing, to pursue a minor in a second field or discipline, or to gain internship experience. The senior year is focused on developing a self-directed body of work for the senior thesis exhibition in the spring semester. Departmental courses in professional practice help students prepare their portfolios and make a realistic plan for sustaining their careers after graduation through approaching funders, galleries, residency opportunities, and employers.<br><br>Students will: Understand basic design principles with an emphasis on three-dimensional design, and the ability to apply these principles to a specific aesthetic intent, Gain advanced abilities in drawing sufficient to support work in sculpture, Understand the possibilities and limitations of various materials, Gain knowledge and skills in the use of basic tools, techniques and processes sufficient to work from concept to finished product, Have functional knowledge of the historical and contemporary movements and issues in the field of sculpture, Demonstrate the development of a personal expressive style in one or more sculptural media, Demonstrate the ability to create a coherent body of work and complete all tasks necessary to mount a public exhibition of that work in a professional manner.
