SCULPTURE

The Sculpture department makes students conversant with techniques and processes of creating three-dimensional forms and images by modeling, carving, construction, casting etc. The department believes that modern sculpture by its very definition seeks to break traditional barriers imposed upon the dimensional visual expression. It encourages students to bridge the boundaries to develop a strong methodology and deeper understanding for the production of the work between traditional sculpture and other new trends like environmental sculpture and installation. Here it is believed in not limiting the methods and materials we use in contrast to the conventional ones. The students are encouraged to give form to their ideas and concepts and special care is taken to awaken in them a feel for the three dimensional medium. Carving in stone, bronze casting, wood carving, plaster, assembling of scrap iron and other miscellaneous objects, form the backbone of the curriculum. Our budding sculptors are trained to have the creativity and verve of the artist, the ingenuity of the structural engineer and the soul of the poet.
