Ceramics 2

Building on the foundation of Ceramics 1, students are challenged to expand their vocabulary of ceramic form and surface.  Technical understanding is emphasized as a tool towards formal and conceptual success.  Students have the opportunity to pursue individual explorations in tandem with directed assignments.  The critique is emphasized for peer evaluation and feedback.

Intensive Ceramics

Intensive ceramics is for those students who have taken both Ceramics I and II. Intensive ceramics is a full art credit and students are required to meet five periods per week. Two of these periods they must meet together as a class. The remaining three periods are determined by the student’s schedule.

Intensive ceramics is a continuation of the student’s personal investigation into clay. The emphasis is on content and ideas and how they relate to the objects made. Advanced technical information is also provided on clay, glazes, and kilns.
