This course is designed for the student who wants to expand on the sculptural skills and techniques learned in Ceramics I. Students will further explore utilizing ceramics as a vehicle for personal expression to expand on their conceptual development, techniques, and understanding of materials. Potential projects include: Anatomy, Architexture, Texture Transformation, and Magnification/Minification. Throughout the semester, students will study contemporary ceramics artists as well as ceramics art history to inform and connect this research to their own art making practice. Through demonstrations, slide presentations, projects, and lecture students will research both traditional and non-traditional techniques used in working with clay.
