Students in ceramics engage in sequential learning experiences that encompass art history, art criticism, aesthetics, and production and lead to the creation of portfolio quality works. In the area of:
• art history, students search for meaning, significance, and direction in their work through an in-depth analysis of historical and contemporary ceramics from a variety of cultural groups identifying relationships between context, form, and function;
• art criticism, students search for meaning, significance and direction in their work by critically examining the relationships between context, form, function, and meaning in their own work and in historical and contemporary ceramic works;
• aesthetics, students search for meaning,
significance, and direction in their work by: (1) formulating
evaluations of historic and contemporary ceramic works, (2) responding
to personal questions about the nature of art, (3) reflecting on their
changing definitions of art, and (4) assessing their ideas in relation
to the art community; and • production, students search for meaning, significance and direction in their work by choosing and evaluating subject matter, symbols, and ideas that communicate intended meaning in their artwork. They also use organizational principles and functions to solve specific visual problems, and they apply media, techniques, and processes with sufficient skill to communicate intended meaning.
Students create works of art in clay utilizing the processes of hand building, molds, wheel throwing, slip and glaze techniques, and the firing processes. Additionally, students: (1) reflect upon the outcome of these experiences, (2) explore cultural and historical connections, (3) write about the process, (4) make presentations about their progress at regular intervals, (5) work individually and in groups, (6) find direct correlations to other disciplines, and (7) explore career options related to ceramics. Art museums, galleries, studios, and community resources are utilized.
