The BA in Sculpture at Korea National University of Arts is an undergraduate program offered through the School of Visual Arts in Seoul. The program focuses on developing students’ creative and technical abilities in three-dimensional art while encouraging experimentation with different sculptural materials and artistic concepts. It aims to train emerging artists who can contribute to contemporary visual arts through innovative sculpture and installation works.
The program typically lasts four years (eight semesters) and combines theoretical study with intensive studio practice. Students study subjects such as sculpture techniques, material studies, art history, design principles, and contemporary art theory. They learn to work with various materials such as stone, metal, wood, clay, and mixed media, gaining practical skills in shaping and constructing sculptural forms.
Studio practice is a major component of the program. Students spend significant time creating original sculptures, participating in workshops, and presenting their works in exhibitions and critique sessions. These activities allow students to experiment with new artistic ideas, refine their craftsmanship, and build a strong portfolio of creative work.
Graduates of the BA in Sculpture program can pursue careers as professional sculptors, installation artists, exhibition artists, art educators, or cultural arts professionals. The program prepares students to work in galleries, museums, public art projects, and creative industries while contributing to the development of contemporary sculpture and visual arts.
