In Ceramics Students will learn sculptural and functional ceramic production techniques. History of Ceramics and artists will be examined and used as inspiration and influence. Students will begin by exploring hand building, relief carving, and glazing techniques. Then they will learn wheel throwing and will spend time building a portfolio of ceramic pieces. Students will be exposed to historical and contemporary examples of design in pottery and ceramic sculpture. Besides hand building and wheel throwing students will learn basic techniques of glazing and other surface treatments. Projects that are assigned meet NYS Learning Standards for the Arts and Common Core Standards.
