CURRICULUM IN SCULPTURE

For the Degree of Bachelor of Fine Arts in Sculpture

The curriculum in sculpture requires 122 credit hours and provides a broad and solid foundation in the fundamental disciplines of drawing, design, and painting, including both traditional and contemporary concepts. The learning of the time-honored techniques of sculpture such as modeling and carving is required, and experimentation with welding, metal casting, and plastics is fostered. The student is encouraged to experience a wide range of materials, techniques, methods, and styles.

Foreign Language Requirement

Students entering the University of Illinois as freshmen in Fall 2000 or later need to complete the foreign language requirement in order to graduate. To satisfy this requirement, stud ents must complete a third semester college foreign language course. This requirement may also be satisfied by three years of the same foreign language in high school.
