Ceramics 2
Ceramics II is a continuation of the work begun in Ceramics I with more emphasis placed on finishing, size, firing, and use of multiple techniques in one piece. In this ceramics course students will learn advanced hand building, wheel throwing, and surface design while focusing on techniques that the student wishes to further explore.

Students are expected to have a more fluent command of the medium and should be working toward a portfolio of finished work that extends from an area of individual concern and purpose. In class, demonstrations of technique will be balanced with occasional lectures on the history, aesthetics, and the cultural importance of clay works.

Objectives:
Technical:
-A primary emphasis will be on your following up on a specific method of creating ceramic forms, either wheel throwing / handbuilding. You will learn to increase the scale of your work all the while keeping control over the quality, coherence and contour of your work. Emphasis is placed on working in a series and matching individual objects in that series.
-You will learn to load/ unload the kiln for both bisque-ware and glaze firing to low fire temperatures.
Aesthetic:
-To appreciate how a unified, coherent form that is finely crafted is beautiful in its own right. To refine your control over the making process in order to work in series.
-To further your understanding of how finishing and decorating contribute or detract from your intention as an artist.
- Communicate an idea or emotion through their artwork.
