AE 1111 - Ceramics for Educators II: Glaze + Firing
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 students to conceptual and practical uses of surface decoration through historical and interdisciplinary ceramic connections. Part II occurs within the studio on campus in a week-long residency where students apply their conceptual knowledge to experimental applications of slips, underglazes, and glazes. Students learn hands-on operation of electric kilns. Students further explore translating these techniques to a K-12 classroom. Upon successful completion of this course, students demonstrate the ability to expressively manipulate clay surfaces using slips, glazes and firing techniques. Further, students effectively articulate their conceptual ideas through class critiques and written assignments.
