Course summary

This program is a liberal arts degree focusing on studio art practice. Students develop an understanding of materials and tools, formal possibilities, technical skills, critical inquiry, ways of seeing, as well as fluency in visual languages and the articulation of meaning. They gain an understanding of the larger context of art through art history and theory courses, study abroad opportunities and the active visiting artist lecture series. The ceramics area is driven by an investigative synthesis of material, methods, and theories associated with ceramics and contemporary art practices. This is anchored by curriculum, facilities, and personnel that nourish a depth of inquiry, access, opportunity, and individuation. Sculptors, potters, installation artists, and interdisciplinary innovators work side by side in a nurturing non-hierarchical environment. Rich in investigation, experimentation, and creative avidity, the ceramics area emphasizes technical and formal proficiency, historic and theoretical literacy, and openness to mining parallel practices and the world at large. The ceramics area offers a broad-based, technically comprehensive undergraduate curriculum in ceramics. Students begin with fabrication and surface tools, alternative methods, and industrial processes. The intermediate level is an examination of firing theory and glaze calculation, critical approaches to art practice, the history of ceramic art, and contemporary trends and development in the art field at large. Advanced level courses are often built around themes and challenges, drawing on all methodologies to advance the vision of the student.
