Photography
Photography is a persuasive, powerful medium with a rich history of contributing to cultural knowledge and enabling people to communicate their ideas.

Sculpture
Sculptors use the craft of their medium and their personal vision to demonstrate awareness of the function of sculpture in a public context. They may exhibit in galleries or outdoor public venues or use their skills as part of an architectural team, in fabrication work or fine art casting, to create installations or props for photography or film.View this program
