AE 1110 - Ceramics for Educators I: Clay


Credits: 1.5

This introductory level hybrid course is split into two parts over an 8 week term. Part I is facilitated through an online learning management system (LMS) introducing the conceptual ideas within ceramics while highlighting historical and interdisciplinary connections. Part II occurs within the studio on campus in a week-long residency where students explore basic hand-building and wheel throwing techniques through the application and manipulation of low fire clay. Students explore translating these techniques to a K-12 classroom. Upon successful completion of this course, students demonstrate through studio projects a historical knowledge of clay, basic hand-building and throwing techniques, an understanding of safety requirements and practices in the ceramics studio. Students effectively communicate the concept and form of ceramics through class critiques and writing assignments.
