Ceramic Surface, Image and Narrative.

In this course, students will investigate the relationships between surface and form in ceramic objects by exploring a range of approaches to the decoration and surface treatment of ceramics, the processes and technologies concerned, and their contribution to expressing ideas. Through project-based explorations, students will create a unique body of work with a focus on developing skills and knowledge of graphic and textural surface treatment in relation to the transformation of three dimensional ideas. Self-direction is emphasized in the development of skills that investigate, ideate and execute solutions. Students are expected to evidence substantial research, sophistication of design ideas and planning.
