- Course Catalog Description:
- Interested in working with a material and practice that dates back 20,000 years? Want direct engagement with creative processes and materials that correlate the hand and the eye with the mind? The course introduces an exciting hands-on experience of ceramic three-dimensional object making. The course introduces general aspects of ceramic practice in art form, based on wheel-throwing and hand-building techniques, using electric and gas firing methods. It also deals with the basic visual concepts of three-dimensional form whether utilitarian object or non-utilitarian object. The assignments in this course introduce various fundamental elements, technically and artistically, of artistic ceramic production. Students become familiar with the processes and techniques of working with and firing clay, and also the artistic formal languages and experience of externalizing inner thought. Critiques will be used as a tool for developing critical thinking and project development. Finished pieces will be produced that reflect the full ceramic production experience.
