BFA in Art - Sculpture in Houston United States | University of Texas at Arlington

The sculpture curriculum provides instruction in diverse methods and approaches, covering: woodcraft and construction, clay shaping, plaster and resin mold-making, along with metalwork using arc, MIG, and TIG welding techniques plus oxy/acetylene joining/cutting and plasma technology. Additional facilities feature a centrifugal casting system, investment workspace, and expansive exterior creation area. A newly added foundry boasts a Speedy Melt oven, overhead lifting equipment, and wax elimination kiln, enabling aluminum and lost-wax bronze pours. While foundational training focuses on conventional methods, learners also engage with installation pieces, land art, performance works, and spatial projects incorporating audio, video, and temporal elements. The program fosters practical comprehension of sculpture's historical and theoretical foundations, aesthetic concepts, and their implementation in three-dimensional creations. Students pursuing sculpture must also complete coursework in pottery, glass arts, and sketching.
