Sculpture
“My approach to sculpture, and to teaching sculpture, is to focus on the physical nature of making and viewing 3-D works of art. It doesn’t matter if you’re talking about a woodcarving, metal sculpture, or an installation made from folded paper—the visceral quality of being with the art is a powerful experience.”—Keith Benjamin, faculty
In today’s world, “sculpture” defines a broad, diverse range of objects and practices. The Sculpture program at the Art Academy of Cincinnati provides a strong foundation in traditional and contemporary 3-D processes, enabling students to explore the full spectrum of possibilities. With guidance and individual attention from instructors, Sculpture majors fuse old and new mediums and strategies into their own art-making process.
The Sculpture major has many exciting career paths. Many recent AAC graduates are exhibiting their sculpture at the local, regional, or national level. Others are entering top graduate programs or working for successful designers, foundries, fabricators, display firms, and interior design firms.
