William Chalmus
FA 4A 1 Sculpture Foundation: 3-D Design I
[ ca ]

This is a popular class and can be a challenge for students outside of the department to get a spot in the class. Still place yourself on the waitlist but if you are interested in taking a 3D course, we recommend you also consider placing yourself on the waitlist for another studio art course, including topic-driven sculpture classes. You may also explore other mediums such as painting, printmaking, and lens-based media. All studio art courses explore foundations in art-making practices. There is an enrollment limit of 0 so that we can prioritize our majors and minors getting into this course. Students outside of the department will be enrolled after early registration is complete. If you have not declared your major or minor, reach out to Christine Kahn (cekahn@brandeis.edu) to express your interest in enrolling AFTER you have placed yourself on the waitlist. We cannot guarantee your enrollment though and encourage students to declare to avoid this in the future. Please do not contact the faculty member teaching the course about enrolling as the administrative staff is enrolling students throughout early registration. Additional questions? Reach out to Christine Kahn.
