ART 2047 Ceramic Sculpture

This course is designed to introduce the student to the materials, terms, equipment, and techniques involved in creating ceramic sculpture. All assignments are designed to challenge both the technical skill and creative and conceptual insights of the students. Various hand-building techniques and finishing methods will be explored. Historical and contemporary issues in ceramics will be discussed in class and through slides and personal presentations. Our class is responsible for firing the work it produces; therefore, firing of the electric kilns will be part of the curriculum. In addition, safety issues of the ceramic studio will be covered.
