VART 327 - Ceramics - Throwing II

CR: 3
Prerequisite: VART 227 (formerly VART 127). Students will expand upon previously learned ceramic skills by throwing on a potter’s wheel, glazing, and firing ceramic ware in this course. Building on studio work in previous semesters, students will move on to more complex forms on the pottery wheel continuing to refine their ability to manipulate material into form and form into functional utilitarian objects. This course will also challenge the student’s aesthetic awareness through information regarding both historical and contemporary ceramic pottery. Regular slide lectures, handouts, and museum research will give visual reference in areas of personal ceramic interest. This course has a course materials fee.
