Description:
Through hands-on assignments, demonstrations and lectures students in this introductory course discover the nature and possibilities of clay as 2D and 3D medium as well as strengthen their individual artistic voice. Beginning with the basics, including handbuilding, coil structures, slab construction and glazing students achieve work that is both technically and conceptually proficient. Field trips, reading discussions and critiques will enable students to develop a broad perspective on ceramics and the ability to analyze artworks.
Section Description:
Students will learn the vast and exciting possibilities of ceramics through hands-on making, including building techniques such as pinch, coil, and slab, surface treatments, as well as how to dye textiles with clay. Students will study a broad range of contemporary artists and practices through virtual guest lectures and basic research in order to develop their artistic voice. Experimentation, performance, and collaboration will also appear in assignments and demonstrations. Critiques and other methods of feedback and reflection will take place throughout the semester.
Online course sections will be delivered mostly asynchronously, with some synchronous components that will be outlined in the course syllabus if applicable.
