Students will study traditional methods of ceramic techniques through the ages and the innovative methods of contemporary ceramic artists. Slide lectures, seminar discussions and group critiques will be used in order to develop an understanding of form, function, and expression as it relates to ceramic art. Technical aspects and techniques related to the properties of clay as an artistic medium will be demonstrated. Students will need to reserve additional time in the studio to put what they learn from class demonstrations into practice.
