Description
Fundamentals of Ceramic Art will give students the basic skills necessary to produce, glaze, and fire ceramic forms. Students will be introduced via demonstrations and presentations to a variety of methods, including wheel-throwing, mold making, slip-casting and glazing. Students are encouraged to create individual and original ideas in ceramics media, and to develop an artistic direction that may complement the work in their major. Individual and group peer critiques are conducted throughout the semester. Prior experience with ceramic materials is not required to enroll in the course.
