ART 240 - Ceramics

4 credits (Fall or Spring)

Students develop sculptural forms with traditional and contemporary ceramic materials, processes and techniques. Focus is on volumetric form, surface texture, and various surface treatments emphasizing ceramics materials, processes and techniques within contemporary art. While respecting global ceramic craft traditions, students concentrate on experiential inquiry to encourage innovation and adaptation within the expanding ceramic field (including the use of digital tools). Students read, write, observe, present, experiment and construct within the studio setting to research and develop ceramic sculpture resulting in a small portfolio that reflects each student’s inquiry in individual and group work.
