Introduction
The art of making solid objects. Sculpture comes from combining plasticity with technique. It is an art linked to space and the tangible expression of the sculptor’s vision of the world. Contemporary and classical studies, analysis of aesthetic canons, research into the fine balance between form and substance: these are the technical and theoretical pillars of the course which support students in their first step towards a future as contemporary artists. RUFA Sculpture and installations graduates enter the job market with a thorough knowledge of plastic arts, performances, and installations. They can also play a key role in the creation of exhibition spaces or in upgrading public spaces in the urban design sector. Working with traditional as well as new materials and improving the quality of spaces are the natural outcomes for RUFA Sculpture and Installations graduates. Thanks to their education graduates are also suited for interesting job opportunities in the more conceptual areas of the profession such as curating exhibitions and art catalogues. The subjects studied at RUFA are part of an all-round education that focuses on figurative and plastic aspects, within a study plan that also includes art history, graphic design, drawing, photography, and audiovisual techniques. Together they form a complete and highly specialised professional.
The Academic Bachelor of Arts is equivalent to a University Bachelor’s Degree
