CERAMICS II

This course will focus on using ceramics as a primary art making machine by breaking out of the constraints wedded to this traditional material. Building on the foundation set in Ceramics1, this course will delve further into the technical and historical aspects of the ceramic process as well as into the conceptual ideas in artmaking.

Students will use a self-directed working process to facilitate the incorporation of ceramic materials into their existing art making while also being allowed room to go in their own conceptual direction. Rigorous group and individual critiques will be held on a regular basis.

Content is a priority in this class, along with the further understanding of ceramic processes and materials. The goal is for the student to be proficient in producing their ideas without the obstruction of technical difficulties.
