Course Summary

A critical environment in which to explore contemporary issues through the making of sculpture.

Sculpture at the RCA spans object-making, public art, performance, sound, film, video and more. Rather than focusing solely on Sculpture’s manifestations, we see the discipline as a method for advancing the production of art.

Join a Master’s programme that encourages diverse, experimental approaches. We encourage you to take a critical, reflexive approach in your work and give you the knowledge to situate your practice within contemporary social, political and economic contexts.

Our team of highly regarded teaching staff and guest lecturers highlight the value of research and experimentation to an artistic practice. You’ll be part of a collaborative and interdisciplinary community looking to innovate with technology and imagine new spaces and materials to bring about social transformation.

Modules

Across terms 1 and 2, you will participate in AcrossRCA. This unit aims to support youin meetingt the challenges of a complex, uncertain and changing world by bringing you together to work collaboratively in interdisciplinary teams on a series of themed projects informed by expertise within and beyond the College. These projects will challenge you to use your intellect and imagination to address key cultural, social, environmental and economic challenges. In doing so, you will develop and reflect on the abilities required to translate knowledge into action, and help demonstrate the contribution the creative arts can make to our understanding and experience of the world.
