Sculpture & Ceramics is an 8th grade elective that lasts for 12 weeks.
This course teaches students to develop an idea or theme in three-dimensional media. Students create two ceramic works and one with sandstone, wire or plaster.
Students look at ceramic works of art by previous students as well as professional artists. They learn to identify some of the ways artists develop a unified theme or style in a small body of work with a balance of unity and variety. They use various hand-building techniques, surface treatment and glazing techniques. The works they create may be functional or decorative.
Students are also asked to create a sculpture that has symbolic meaning, based on a past experience. Students will create a sculpture that has hidden, personal meaning.
Students evaluate their artwork in similar areas to other art classes; Idea Development, Technical Skills, Craftsmanship and Artistic Behavior/Effort. They critique and reflect upon their work in writing using the vocabulary and concepts learned in each unit.
