Advanced Ceramics: Research and Methods

4 credits · Undergraduate

This course builds on the foundations of ART 15 to introduce students to more advanced techniques, concepts, and technologies. From traditional forms to experimental structures, students will connect ceramic processes to larger fields of contemporary art. This course encourages interdisciplinary thinking and pushes students to think of material as metaphor. Methods may include: casting and mold-making, wheel throwing, handbuilding, mixed media assemblage, collaboration, ceramic 3-D printing/modeling. Field trips, artist lectures, and readings/discussion will accompany studio time. Priority enrollment for Art Practice majors and intended Art Practice majors. Prerequisites: ART 15 Ceramics: Foundations or by permission of instructor.
