About Sculpture at the School of Art
The Sculpture department at the Otago Polytechnic is equipped to international standards comprising separate workshops for wood, metal and plastics fabrication, a modelling and casting studio and specialist facilities for ceramic shell bronze casting, metal forging, vacuum forming and spray painting.
Students develop a sculptural language through studio workshops stressing drawing, form and spatial analysis.
Senior students work on individual programmes that promote independence and individuality through self-directed practical and theoretical research.
An emphasis is placed on philosophical understanding relating to historical approaches and extending media specific formats.
