Our Mission:
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). Students will explore
a range of techniques and methods while developing individual artistic practices in
three and four dimensions.
Program Learning Outcomes:
Students enrolled in the Sculpture/New Genres minor will:
- Articulate the relationship between their major and minor(s) and how these will help them achieve personal and professional goals.
- Develop and apply interdisciplinary skills, experiences, and knowledge in fields outside of their majors.
- Develop an art/design practice that is grounded in two or more disciplines.
Participating Departments
The Sculpture/New Genres minor is open to students majoring in Animation, Game and Entertainment Design, Graphic Design, Fashion Design, Fine Arts, Illustration, Product Design and Toy Design.
