Sculpture
Sculpture encourages the creating, shaping, or combining of three-dimensional objects. Designs may be produced as freestanding objects (i.e., in the round), in relief, or in environments, and a variety of media may be used, including clay, wax, stone, metal, fabric, wood, plaster, rubber, and found objects. Materials may be carved, modeled, molded, cast, wrought, welded, sewn, or assembled and combined.
Meet Cecilia Moseley (BFA in Art, emphasis in Sculpture ‘20) a metal fabrication artist.
“When I toured the art department as a high school senior, I knew I was supposed to go to Ole Miss. The art department is a community of people who push and support creativity and dreams. It is a home because of the people that make up the department and because of how much time I spend there.”
