Supplemental Information for BFA with a Major in Sculpture
Portfolio Reviews for Sculpture Majors

Students who major in sculpture are expected to:

demonstrate competence in all aspects of three-dimensional design.
show competence in the design and development of a chosen technique.
demonstrate knowledge of contemporary art issues and articulate this knowledge as it relates to their own work.
build upon the processes and techniques learned in sculpture classes and demonstrate seriousness about their development as artists.

Mid-Point Review

After completion of 9 hours of sculpture, students are required to present their work for review by the sculpture faculty. Students must pass the mid-point review before they will be allowed to enroll in additional advanced sculpture classes. It will be necessary for students who do not pass review to repeat the first ART 4801, Sculpture Studio course and the review process.

Transfer Credit

Transfer students who have completed sculpture courses at other schools must present their work for review with a member of the sculpture faculty during the counseling period preceding registration to determine appropriate placement in the UNT sculpture program.

Senior Exit Review

During their final enrollment in ART 4801, Sculpture Studio, students will submit the following work for an exit review:

statement of aesthetic philosophy (artist's statement).
at least 10 good slides of advanced sculpture work.

Students who do not pass the exit review will repeat the last ART 4801, Sculpture Studio, and the review prior to graduation.

Results

Record of success in passing each review will be furnished to the student and recorded for the School of Visual Arts.
