Sculpture students work with form, volume, space, texture, and material.
Working in the Metals Lab, Wood Shop, or the Casting/Modeling Lab, Sculpture students can use a full range of tools and media with guidance and safety training.
Sculpture overlaps ceramics, metals, and intermedia, and students are encouraged to explore these ideas as part of developing their own unique 3D style.
Advanced sculpture students can make use of the Bronze Foundry, Furniture making, and even mixed media to include glass and computers.

Our sculpture area is great for those who like to work in three dimensions, combining expression and technique with mass, volume, and space. Sculptural art ranges from carved stone and wood to highly contemporary forms that integrate performance, installation, landscape and the environment, and technology into an aesthetic experience.
Consequently, in Ball State's sculpture courses, you will learn traditional sculpture techniques along with more contemporary and experimental media and art forms. We have extensive facilities for working across a range of mediums, from woodworking and furniture, to large-scale metal casting and fabrication, and more. This provides you with a full range of avenues for creative expression as a sculptural artist.
