Description: Students in this course focus on experimental, non-traditional techniques associated with thematic and conceptual practices that are relevant to contemporary studio ceramics today. Students investigate new modes of creating work through experimentation and collaboration across media, including installation, the sculptural object, time-based work, performance, material-based issues, Claymation, and video/digital technologies with presentations, readings, research and creative assignments. Through these topics, students begin to integrate media and creative strategies that are relevant to their individual creative practices within an interdisciplinary context. This is an Integrated Media course.
