Advanced Ceramics

(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

This course provides an atmosphere for detailed conversation and exploration of students' individual work within the contemporary context of sculpture. Quite often artists work for several years with different series, while not having a clear compartmentalization of the works in their mind, or what is the work about. This course will help students to push their conceptual work to a more advanced level with the creation of a proposal for an exhibition, the development of a website, referencing their own interest and studio practice, while in consultation with the instructor. The class will provide an in-depth exploration of how to categorize and describe their various bodies of work into different series according to subject matter, formal aspect, and materials. Sculpture seminars may include topics such as discussions of contemporary issues, exhibitions, professional practice, or methods and directions. The class meets regularly for lectures, visiting artists, and/or field trips.
