ART 118 - Ceramics for Non-Majors

The focus of this course is on the exploration, interpretation, and understanding of the basic handbuilding or wheel building techniques, along with a general understanding of the materials, clays, glazes, kilns and terminology used in ceramics. Students will elect a course of study in either: wheel-throwing or hand-building. The student will make ceramic projects, fire, glaze, and take them home. This course is intended for the casual-learner and runs on a part-time schedule, which may not support full transfer into a four-year fine arts program.
