1346   CERAMICS, LEVEL 1

Semester, 1 credit

Prerequisite: Introduction to 2-D & 3-D Art with a C- or better average

 

Students in Ceramics engage in sequential learning experiences that encompass art history, art criticism, aesthetics, and production and lead to the creation of portfolio quality works.

 

Students create works of art in clay utilizing the processes of hand building, molds, wheel throwing, slip and glazes techniques, and the firing processes.  Additionally, students: (1) reflect upon the outcome of these experiences, (2) explore cultural and historical connections, (3) write about the process, (4) make presentations about their progress at regular intervals, (5) work individually and in groups, (6) find direct correlations to other disciplines, and (7) explore career options related to ceramics.  Art museums, galleries, studios, and community resources are utilized.
