Characteristics of the course of study
Technique and experimentation, innovation and individual research. The Sculpture course offers a comprehensive education that explores the world of sculpture through the use of various materials and techniques. This three-year program introduces students to contemporary sculpture, equipping them with all the cultural and technical elements essential to mastering sculptural materials—both traditional and innovative—for personal expressive purposes. In the third year of study, the curriculum is enhanced by 3D digital modeling, allowing contemporary sculptors to carry out the design phase more effectively and efficiently. Throughout the entire program, practical skills acquired through laboratory-based courses are enriched and made more productive by interaction with historical and theoretical teachings, which are fundamental for understanding the current artistic landscape.

Course Goals
The Sculpture Course aims to provide artistic skills and knowledge focused on managing the expressive tools that underpin sculptural art (clay, plaster, marble, wood, iron), taking into account the plurality of languages, innovations in techniques, and the need for experimentation that the student will develop to structure their individual research. Graduates, thanks also to direct interaction with representatives of the "Art System" linked to the territory and the SantaGiulia Academy, will have the opportunity to participate in research projects and exhibitions in the fields of public art and visual arts. They will thus acquire foundational skills applicable on a professional level, enabling them to begin managing public and private commissions, relationships with gallery owners, and collaborations with artistic projects and groups.
