Major Concepts/Content
Ceramics/Pottery II will include the investigation of the ceramic process via various utilitarian and non-utilitarian projects, the combining of several elements into a new form or whole, the development of a sensitivity to clay, and will include the practice and successful use of forming techniques. Skills using potter's tools will be required for the production of clay pieces, including coil, slab and pinch methods. The purpose of this course is to enable students to recognize the properties, possibilities, and limitations of clay by creating functional and non functional works of ceramics and pottery using intermediate-level hand-building techniques. This course will enable students to develop the basic skills in the use of sculpture media, design, processes and techniques.
