Description
Fall semester junior course work builds on the knowledge base gained in previous studies. Students expand technical skills while increasing focus on specialized, personal, and creative investigations of the material. Experimentation and risk taking in technique, vision, and concept are key notions. Research and collecting source material in areas of personal interest are emphasized; historical and contemporary examples will be gathered, studied, and presented. Through this investigation students achieve a greater understanding of context for their work, with participation and growth in critical thinking and articulation. Students select a concentration in the vessel or sculpture. In the vessel curriculum students learn to throw, slip cast, and hand construct advanced compound forms. Students acquire more complex knowledge of glaze, surface embellishment, and subject matter for decoration. Mid- and high-temperature oxidation, reduction, and atmospheric surfaces and firings are conducted
