Visual Arts Sculpture is a course designed to develop students' ownership of their creative output, with a foundation in the principles and skills of working in a 3D context.

This course is driven by the student's own creative practice, whilst giving them the structure and guidance to support their success. An exciting and incredibly diverse course, Sculpture will fill the cup of those wanting to explore all that it means to be an artist!
