You will acquire the language for visual thinking through a foundation curriculum that includes drawing, two- and three-dimensional design and introductory art history. Then you choose at least one studio area of concentration in which you build a mature level of creative expression. This in-depth involvement enables you to create a professional-level portfolio for your future goals. Many of our graduates choose to continue their education in a Master of Fine Arts program. The SUNY Plattsburgh sculpture program provides a strong foundation experience. The exploration of a variety of introductory studio problems helps students understand the relationship of materials, processes, and ideas. At the advanced level, students begin to deal with their own personal expression and concepts. Personal insights are further developed through increased awareness of past and contemporary developments in art. Upper division students create large scale sculptures for outdoor public exhibition. The opportunity to create these works helps ensure student's success getting into grad school with fellowships and scholarships.
