Subject:

Description:

This course will be a combination hands-on examination of the process of pottery making and an exploration into the artistic traditions of the Native Americans who create pottery as an integral part of their lives. We will gather, process and prepare the clay and related materials in much the same way that Native people have done for the last two thousand years in the American Southwest. Through a series of readings and discussions, the class will examine the concept of ethno-aesthetics and ethnographic importance of pottery making and how the process and end results represent a glimpse into the world of the Pueblo people. Co-requisites: Art St 122 OR instructor permission. Lab fee. (does not include student materials).
