The Sculpture/New Genres Minor provides students the opportunity to explore the technical, formal, historical, and theoretical concerns of creating meaningful objects, installations and time-based art (including video, sound and performance) through a combination of studio and art history courses. Students will explore a range of techniques and methods while developing individual artistic practices in three and four dimensions. Sculpture/New Genres minors will only participate in the senior show of their home department, however depending on space availability, they may utilize Fine Arts Senior Studios on a case-by-case basis with approval from the Department Chair.
