Making as a Form of Thinking
In keeping with the Art Department's mission of empowering students to become visually critical thinkers through their creative practice, the 3 d媒体 and 材料的研究 major focuses on making as a form of thinking through technical mastery of both traditional 工艺品manship and emerging technologies. Students are also exposed to the expanding range of working three-dimensional studio practice, including performance and 安装 and time-based art. Through immersion in a research and process-oriented curriculum, students develop a range of transferable skills and a body of work reflecting artistic maturity, material proficiency, and conceptual development.
An Expansive Approach
3D媒体 and 材料的研究 area is committed to rigorous study of contemporary sculptural practice, theory and history. Students are exposed to the expanding scope of three-dimensional studio practice including performance, 安装, and time-based art. Our major provides students with a wide-ranging choice of practices and processes, including ceramics, metalsmithing and fibers.
Focused and Versatile
Through immersion in a research based and process-oriented curriculum, students develop a range of transferable skills and a body of work reflecting artistic maturity, material proficiency, and conceptual development.
很好的工具 & 新设施

专门的老师
The faculty consists of four full-time professors and a team of devoted instructors, all of whom bring a wide array of experiences and professional achievements to the classroom. Small class sizes mean students have access to instructors who know students by name, understand each student's individualized goals, and who create their own work under the same roof. 教师 welcome prospective student questions and inquiries.
