Centered in individualized guidance, it also promotes group discussions, residence / workshops, classes with guests, in addition to the analysis and case studies and / or thematic groups also promoting up coordination with other curricular units.

In the sculptural field, the knowledge and possibilities of exploring the relations between Space / Time, Matter, Volume, Scale, Dimension, Efemerity, Body / Thought / Action - allied implications to the communicating action of concretions of sculptural plastic expression - with profitable More diverse areas of knowledge, with cultural background and contextualization, sociological and temporal space.

With intrinsic vocation to three-dimensionality, action and involvement Space / Time, Body / Materia, we anticipate a breadth and openness to multiple processes and results - if we understand the different conceptual universes of each art project - an enlarged perspective training our students to the sculpture as a central knowleadge area in Art.
