The college offers B.F.A., M.A. and M.F.A. degrees in sculpture at the SCAD-Atlanta location through the School of Fine Arts.
Professional sculptors may exhibit in galleries or outdoor public venues. Contemporary sculpture artists may use their skills as part of an architectural team, in fabrication work or fine art casting, to create installations or props for photography or film, or as part of many other variations on the discipline. They use the craft of their medium and their personal vision to demonstrate awareness of the function of sculpture in a public context.
Courses explore traditional metal (foundry and welding), carving (wood and stone) and glasswork (cold and warm) as well as non-traditional media.
Emphasis is placed on media expertise and studio proficiencies as well as a comprehensive understanding of conceptual issues in sculpture. Coursework addresses digital applications, contemporary conceptual sculptural applications and professional practices.
Located next to the High Museum of Art in Midtown Atlanta, the SCAD-Atlanta sculpture facility is one of the finest in the Southeast. Designed by architect Renzo Piano, the facility contains a comprehensive wood and metal shop, a foundry for bronze and stainless steel, studios and support equipment, as well as exhibition space.
Through the distinguished faculty program, students may collaborate or participate in internships with professional artists. Recent guests and visiting faculty include Sandy Skoglund, Dennis Oppenheim and Patrick Dougherty.
