  • 4.00 Credits

    (4.0 Units) (No prerequisite. Advisory: Art 265. Three lecture and three laboratory hours weekly.) Emphasis will be placed on the design process and development of a personal strategy for problem solving. Problems pertaining to perception, use of the imagination, and expanding imagery will be given in areas of construction technique as well as dyeing and surface treatment. Students will be expected to have a body of finished work that demonstrates their explorations and conceptual approach at the end of this class. May be taken four times for credit. (CSU)
  • 4.00 Credits

    (4.0 Units) (Prerequisite: Art 171. Three lecture and three laboratory hours weekly.) Advanced and in-depth interpretation of the common class project with greater expectations of further technical and conceptual development. Mentoring of beginning students, lab assistance in glaze preparation, kiln loading and firing. Advanced proficiency with various types of clay bodies and glaze formulation, including stoneware, porcelain, and low fire techniques. Concentration on individual projects which illustrate more comprehensive aesthetic understanding. (CSU)

    (4.0 Units) (Prerequisite: Art 270. Three lecture and three laboratory hours weekly.) Advanced and in-depth interpretation of the common class project with greater expectations of further technical and conceptual development. Mentoring of beginning students, lab assistance in glaze preparation, kiln loading and firing. Advanced proficiency with various types of clay bodies and glaze formulation, including stoneware, porcelain, and low fire techniques.

  • 4.00 Credits

    (4.0 Units) (Prerequisite: Art 171. Three lecture and three laboratory hours weekly.) Advanced study of ceramics with a focus on the technical and aesthetic considerations of ceramics as a sculptural medium. It is intended for students already well grounded in forming techniques who would benefit from a more critical assessment of their work. This course includes group discussions that focus on career opportunities, resume development, professional organizations, and showing work in galleries. Development of individual style and refinement of technique will be encouraged. May be taken four times for credit. (CSU/UC)

    (4.0 Units) (Prerequisite: Art 171. Three lecture and three laboratory hours weekly.) Advanced study of ceramics with a focus on the technical and aesthetic considerations of ceramics as a functional medium. Intended for students already well grounded in throwing and handbuilding forming techniques who would benefit from a more critical assessment of their work. May involve field trips to artists' studios, shows, and conferences. Group discussions focusing on career opportunities, resume development, professional organizations, and showings in galleries and art fairs. Development of individual style and refinement of technique will be encouraged. May be taken four times for credit. (CSU/UC)
  • 4.00 Credits

    (4.0 Units) (Prerequisite: Art 171 or two semesters of Art 177. Advisories: Art 112, 113, 130. Three lecture and three laboratory hours weekly.) This course is intended for the intermediate and advanced ceramics student who is already well grounded in basic clay working skills and glazing methods. This is an opportunity to enlarge the scale of individual work as well as participate in the design, creation and installation of public art. Emphasis on appropriate handbuilding and mold-making techniques to familiarize the student with both freestanding and wall relief construction techniques with various clay types. Each project will require progressive technical ability and will be assigned according to the student's level of experience, areas of interest and skill level. Examples of historical and contemporary architectural and large scale ceramics will be explored through field trips, slide lectures and visits to regional sites. (CSU)
