AR 322 Intermediate Handbuilding

(Lab Fee) This course will further develop the basic handbuilding techniques covered in AR 317. Techniques will include the processes of pinching, stiff and soft slab building, coiling as well as modeling techniques. Approaches will include sculptural applications as well as the formation of vessels. While the process of building with clay will be at the core of this course, an awareness of ceramic history, contemporary ceramic art, conceptual ideas, and other concerns will be included as well. The ceramic process, including glazing firing, and timing will be of utmost concern as we learn to understand the ceramic material. Includes presentation of historical, cultural and contemporary trends in ceramics.
