VACA 432 Advanced Ceramics I (2 SH)

In Advanced Ceramics 1, students will balance assignments designed to develop technical skills, while developing projects that explore personal style. Research and experimentation from an array of materials and processes such as wheel and hand building methods, unique firing processes, glaze chemistry, and clay body foundation will be used toward formal and conceptual success. In conjunction with increased technical proficiency, students will investigate conceptual, historical, and contemporary art issues to increase professionalism, develop a personal aesthetic, and create artwork that is suitable for exhibition.
