Overview

Key Features

Not only that, but it also offers students unparalleled opportunities to learn digital fabrication and work with cutting-edge technologies. Embracing visual art alongside video, sound, interactivity, and performance, our program pushes and challenges the limits of how to approach sculpture as a material practice.

The Sculpture and Expanded Practices program at Emily Carr University of Art + Design is for visual artists and spatial thinkers who want to work with their hands across sculptures, installations, public art, and more.

Through your studio-led courses, taught by leading visual artists, you'll gain essential technical grounding in wood, metal, mould-making and casting, flexible materials, textiles + soft sculpture, and digital fabrication. From site-specific work to constructed objects, you'll experiment with both traditional and non-traditional media, including video, digital media, and kinetics. As your studies progress, you'll have the flexibility to take more advanced courses in the areas of your choice.

While most of your time will be spent working with these machines and materials, you'll also be assigned theoretical readings, and participate in group discussions and presentations. Expect to be immersed in a caring and diverse student body, where you and your peers will support each other as both artists and citizens.

Through your courses, led by renowned artists, you'll not only learn and hone your skills, but you'll also be able to situate your own practice in relation to social themes, communities, and contemporary styles. Upon graduation, you'll have produced an impressive body of work that will prepare you for professional roles in the arts.
