CE 130 - Mystery Materials Metaphor

Institution:

Maine College of Art

Subject:

Description:

In this course, students will be given the opportunity to evolve concepts which lend themselves to working with clay in nontraditional formats. Students might choose to use clay along with other materials or to use ceramic materials in innovative ways. Students will investigate how materials inform and define concepts and how materials and process are used to carry meanings and history as well as practice. Students will also be asked to understand how concepts can sometimes be more successfully realized through the use of clay along with multiple materials and will study the work of contemporary ceramic artists who explore the expressive possibilities of mixed materials. Through a series of exercises and playful risk-taking, students will develop additional vocabularies of process and material which will assist in visualizing their ideas. Elective: 3 credits/ semester; 6 hours/week. No prerequisite.
