B14 Phone: 273-3083 E-mail: [email protected] Class Information: Group seminar meeting times Tuesdays and Thursdays Periods 5-7, FAC B14, Tuesdays (group critiques and individual meetings) Thursdays (Seminar discussions and group critiques) Credit hours –03 Office Hours: Thursdays 10-11 am and Fridays by appointment Course Description: This class is a seminar which investigates historical and contemporary connections that are present within American Ceramics. Ceramics has long been a medium used in many contexts; industry, design, architecture, science/technology and fine art. American ceramic history evolved in each area within studios, schools, laboratories, and factories. The history of American Ceramics reflects European and Asian influences and includes a parallel and important Native American tradition. Coursework will involve weekly reading and active participation in seminar discussions. In class group projects will draw connections between historical precedents in each category of ceramic practice relating these to the contemporary discourse and production methods. Independent research of personal historical and contemporary influences will be presented in a PowerPoint lecture. You will work individually and in groups to trace aesthetics, techniques, and concepts started during the industrial revolution evolving forward to contemporary practices. A suggested bibliography citing noteworthy historical resources as well as CFile Weekly, an online journal will provide you the foundation for independent research reading. Along with the seminar surveying the evolution of American Ceramics you will work on your studio art. Your progress will be evaluated during group mid-term and final critiques.
