Sculptors shape the objects that wow the public across fne art, flm, and entertainment. SCAD sculpture students illuminate all aspects of the profession within a studio designed by Pritzker Architecture Prize winner Renzo Piano. Here, students shape wood, concrete, bronze, light, textiles, sustainable and organic matter, digital projections, and other materials into fne art casting, and more. They also learn to produce work in a professional context, accelerated by a curriculum that explores traditional and nontraditional media. Real-world design projects and professional interactions impart the portfolio power for SCAD sculptors to land fulflling jobs in the art, design, film, entertainment, and innovation sectors. Representatives from prestigious organizations such as Ford Motor Company conduct studio sessions, review and critique work, ofer lectures, hold workshops, and mentor students through high-profle collaborations.
