CER3011 Ceramics II

This course will be a refinement of the fundamental skills learned in CER2011, Ceramics I, with a heightened emphasis on the ability to gain technical mastery over core forms, and to critique work with clearly developed criteria. Students will be expected to create more complex and challenging functional and sculptural pieces, including vessels and forms with handles, lids, and spouts. In addition, students will work with different clay bodies, and explore more advanced surface treatments such as sgraffito, the use of stains, underglazes, slips and engobes. A major component of the course is the expectation that students will spend time in the studio outside class on a regular basis to complete their work and to advance their skills and ideas. Students will be expected to do regular research and exploration into ceramics forms, processes, and contemporary practices, including ceramic installations. Students will have completed CER2011 with a grade of “C” or better. Lab fee / materials fee applied to this course. Credits: 3.000
