本科生申请条件
一、学业概况
The department’s curriculum and pedagogy encourage students to develop their work in ways that actively engage intersectional and relational thought and action through both Sculpture studio courses and extensive electives. This praxis-based community focuses on the co-creation of an environment in which all students feel supported, seen and heard, so that they benefit from the individually specific feedback from professors and peers so crucial to their development.The Major Studio course forms the backbone of the student experience in Sculpture. As sophomores, students focus on basic skill acquisition, working across wood, metal, casting, performance, installation and video, while also learning about the histories of these skills. Junior year is geared toward developing a personal artistic voice and deepening skill acquisition through intensive studio electives. Students are asked to take command of conceptual and formal concerns and build skills on a project-by-project basis. By senior year, students incorporate skills, literacies and expertise into a final degree project, which culminates in a public group exhibition on campus.
该系的课程和教学方法鼓励学生通过雕塑工作室课程和广泛选修课积极参与交叉和相关的思想和行动来开展工作。这个以实践为基础的社区关注共同创造一个让所有学生感受到支持，看到和听到的环境，以便他们从教授和同行对其发展至关重要的个别具体反馈中受益。主要工作室课程构成雕塑学生体验的中坚力量。作为二年级生，学生专注于基本技能的获取、跨木材、金属、铸造、表演、安装和视频工作，同时也了解这些技能的历史。入学的第一年旨在培养个人艺术的声音，并通过密集的工作室选修课深化技能获取。要求学生掌握概念和正式关注点，并逐个项目地建立技能。到大四年级，学生将技能，素养和专业知识融入最终学位项目，最终在校园里进行公共集体展览。作为二年级学生的(在罗德岛设计学院必修的预科课程学年之后)，学生通过强调概念和技术发展的课程，专注于木材和金属制造，铸造，绘画和图形建模等技能。最初入学的学生开始为认真的概念和技术调查确定区域，并辅以诸如机器人，先进制造方法和当代雕塑问题研讨会等更多选修课。

Approximately 50-60 undergraduate and a dozen graduate students in the department are guided and challenged by professors committed to helping them push and refine his or her own expressive capabilities. Students show mutual respect for each other’s work, offering informal critical feedback and helping peers with projects as needed. The many visiting artists and critics who come to campus each semester provide exposure to a wide range of work and philosophies, and contribute to the caliber of critical dialogue.Undergraduate Sculpture majors work in shared spaces in two locations: the historic Metcalf Building and the newly renovated Point Street Studios. Metcalf houses a foundry, a newly expanded woodshop and extensive metal fabrication facilities that are maintained by two full-time technicians. The state-of-the-art foundry allows for bronze and aluminum pouring and is equipped to support wax-working, patina and rubber mold-making. As sophomores, students are assigned large blue lockers that serve as a work bench and house personal tools during their three years as Sculpture majors. Each sophomore is also assigned home space in the lofty fourth floor of the Metcalf Building. Juniors and seniors maintain a locker room in Metcalf and have open plan areas with plentiful workspace at Point Street.
约有50-60名本科生和十几名研究生在该系受到教授的指导和挑战，他们致力于帮助他们推动和提升自己的表达能力。学生对彼此的工作表现出相互尊重，提供非正式的批评性反馈，并根据需要帮助同事进行项目。每个学期来到校园的许多访问艺术家和评论家都会接触到各种各样的工作和哲学，并为口头对话做出贡献。本科雕塑专业在两个地点的共享空间工作：历史悠久的梅特卡夫大厦和新装修的Point Street Studios。Metcalf拥有一家铸造厂，一家新扩建的木工车间和由两名全职技术人员维护的广泛的金属加工设备。最先进的铸造工艺可以进行青铜和铝铸造，并且可以支持蜡工，铜锈和橡胶模具制造。作为二年级学生，学生们被分配了大型蓝色储物柜，作为工作台，并在他们三年的雕塑专业中安置个人工具。梅特卡夫大厦四层的每个二年级学生也被分配了家庭空间。最初入学的学生和已经入学的学生在梅特卡夫拥有更衣室，并在点街拥有开放式的工作空间。

We strongly recommend that you include a few pages from your journal or sketchbook to indicate your process of research, thinking and investigation.Do not submit a multi-page PDF with individual and unrelated works on each page since this is likely to exceed the limit of 20 examples we’ve requested.

选择以下三个提示选项之一，并使用您喜欢的任何媒体形式(无限制)。
我们认为该选项与您提交的作品一样重要，并鼓励您将实验性思考和冒险行为当做是练习，而不仅仅是最终演示或技术熟练程度的例子。没有什么特别的结果比另一个更重要，所以请随时在这些作品中探索各种可能的表达方式。这些提示中的每一个都有一个以上的含义或用法，您可能希望先参考字典来源来扩展对方向的初始反应。请在SlideRoom的特定部分上传您的回应，专门用于提交这些作品。(不要将它们上传到SlideRoom的作品集区域中。)如果您的任何一个回复的文件大小超过10 MB，请嵌入一个链接将我们引导至另一个观看平台，例如个人网站，Vimeo等。在您的两个作品的SlideRoom提交部分，我们还要求您反思您分享的两个回复，并对此问题提供一个简短回应：您将在下一步中探索哪些其他指导或想法?
