Students will create a cohesive series of three ceramic pieces that explore a specific theme, demonstrating their ability to develop a concept, utilize ceramic techniques, and exhibit artistic expression through their work.
Students will explore the fusion of ceramics with non-ceramic materials to create innovative mixed-media art. This project encourages experimentation, risk-taking, and the development of skills in material combination to enhance conceptual meaning.
Students will explore glazing techniques to create painterly effects on ceramic pieces, enhancing their understanding of color, composition, and texture in relation to ceramic art.
