彫刻とは何か?

 彫刻芸術は人類の歴史の中で最も古い芸術のひとつであり現在も尚、私たちの遺伝子に脈々と引き継がれた美的表現の一つとして、文明を多彩に彩ってきました。その彫刻を一言で表現するならば「存在の芸術」と言えます。何故ならば、彫刻の材料となる様々な物質には宇宙の記憶が、そしてそれを加工する技術には人類の記憶が含まれているのです。よって現代において彫刻を創造することは、あらゆる文化や歴史に触れながら自ら意志を「かたち」に現す芸術と云えるからです。彫刻芸術の概念は今も求心と拡張を繰り返しながら、更なる可能性を求めて進化し続けています。その中で、私たちは世界に誇る特異で奇抜な伝統的美学を受け継いでいますが、この貴重な文化遺産を礎として、新たな彫刻表現の可能性を模索し世界に発信して行かなければなりません。

 彫刻学科では伝統と革新を対立項と見なさず、過去に学び未来を創造する我が国独自の芸術家の育成を目指しています。国内外でもトップクラスの設備を備え、様々な専門工房には経験豊かな専任教授、講師が配属され伝統的な手法から拡張を続ける現代美術まで、基礎過程から学ぶ事が出来ます。そして専門過程では学生自らが目指す領域を自由に選択しながら、個々のもつ能力を最大限に発揮出来る制作環境を整えています。「彫刻を学ぶ事は全てを学ぶ事」です。彫刻学科で培った様々な経験は芸術家としてまた様々な進路の礎となり社会に貢献出来る事でしょう。

What is sculpture?

Sculpture is one of the oldest arts in human history, a mode of aesthetic expression that has added color and variety to civilizations worldwide and has been consistently passed on in our DNA up until today. In a word, sculpture is the art of existence. The various materials used for sculpture are as old as the earth and imbued with cosmic memory, while the techniques used to shape them are imprinted in biological memory as old as the human race. Today, sculpture is the art of giving physical shape to our will, while engaging with diverse aspects of culture and history.The concept of sculpture continues to evolve to this day, reaching further horizons of possibility through repeated cycles of concentration andexpansion. Under these circumstances, we in Japan should explore the potential of new sculptural expressions and disseminate them around the world, building on the precious valuable cultural asset of our unique and sometimes eccentric traditional aesthetics.

In the Department of Sculpture, we aim to foster unique Japanese artists who learn from the past and create the future by integrating tradition and innovation. Students work with world-class quipment and facilities while studying under experienced,specialist professors and instructors in various specialized studios, giving them a firm foundation in basic processes used for everything from traditional methods to ever-expanding contemporary arts. In special courses, we offer an environment where students can maximize their capabilities to create works while freely choosing the field they want to enter.“Students who learn sculpture have to learn everything. ”These students will contribute to society as artists, building on the diverse experiences obtained in the Department of Sculpture and applying these experiences as the foundation for various career options.
