Multilevel Ceramics

(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

This class will require serious commitment and the student’s desire to push their artistic comfort zone to a higher level. The class will help students to push their conceptual work to a more advanced level, trusting themselves to work from observation, as well as memory and imagination. You will work and understand 2-D and 3-D mass and form. The class will provide a more in-depth exploration of how to understand space, proportion, texture, and details of sculpture in clay. This class explores various techniques in clay, such as solid building, slab building, coil building, etc. In addition, we will work on preparatory drawings, sculptural sketches, and understanding anatomy. While sculpting in clay, our main focus is on the structural understanding of weight, balance, gravity, and symmetry.
