Sculpture is a specialist Visual Arts subject which aims for students to develop an understanding of advanced processes and practices in one area of sculpture. Students will extend and develop their ideas through a range of tasks including research, drawing for sculpture, sequential studies, subject matter exploration and finished works. Students will demonstrate the ability to explore, develop, and resolve an idea around a chosen sculptural convention. The independent nature of this course is similar to tertiary education.

An achieved or better in any Level 2 Art Visual External Assessment Standard is recommended, or by approval from the HOD.
