Drawing + Painting w/ Sculpture Emphasis

FIGURATIVE SCULPTURE

LCAD is unique in being one of only a handful of accredited colleges to offer courses in figurative sculpture that focus on classical techniques with an emphasis on multi-figurative compositions.

 

The Sculpture Emphasis will teach you the skills to produce ¼ -life size to monumental sized sculptures that convey contemporary narrative themes, mold making, and casting. Our sculpture curriculum is based in classical techniques and will prepare you to enter the competitive field of sculpture by gaining commissions, exhibiting as a gallery artist, obtaining public grants, or branching out into the entertainment and special effects industries.
