Department of Fine Art Sculpture Course 立体造形専攻

Understanding Materials, Transforming Spaces

Wood, stone, metal, resin, clay, glass—these and many other materials found in nature form the basis of a course in sculpture.Students create works using various materials, learn about the unique characteristics of different materials, and determine which ones best suit their creative practice.They do this work in a variety of production spaces, all designed to facilitate deep work. These include studios for ironworking, woodworking, modeling, and outdoor production, and students also have access to cranes, forklifts, and other machinery.In this well-equipped environment, students master techniques and concepts through hands-on experience, building the foundation upon which they will create their own works.Students also have opportunities to exhibit their work at art festivals and can even try their hand at planning exhibitions of their own,allowing them to gain the comprehensive, real-world experience required of an artist.

Subject Highlights

  • Creating studies inspired by favorite artists to develop their sensibilities and conceptual thinking

    [Art Expression / Year 3]
    Based on production techniques and knowledge of materials acquired during their second year, students develop the ability to express themselves in their own unique way during their third year of study.To fully express themselves, students need to hone their sensibilities to perceive as much as possible from their everyday experiences.They also need to think theoretically about why they are making art, a process vital to developing concepts for their work.These are the skills that students cultivate through the Art Expression course as they create a study inspired by one of their favorite artists.They first choose an artist they are inspired by, and after in-depth research into the artist and their work, students create a study that they dedicate to the artist.By studying the thought processes and approaches of the artists that they respect, students come to understand themselves as artists and begin to uncover the world they want to express through their art.
