ART 361 - CERAMICS STUDIO: RAW MATERIALS

Institution:

Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Art

Description:

Grounded in scientific methodology that is applied in creative ways, this course will empower students with the technical understandings of clays, slips, glazes, and firing processes needed to create unique works of art. Within a multidisciplinary approach to the study of ceramic raw materials, students will explore a range of media and surfaces, using geology and chemistry to formulate and modify clay bodies, decorating and casting slips, and glazes. Students will use different types of kilns and firing cycles to test their formulations. They will learn traditional systematic testing processes while also developing their own unique modes of experimentation. The end result will be a palette of materials and colors that are expressive of the student's aesthetic intentions.
