In this course, students will investigate the relationships between surface and form in ceramic objects by exploring a range of approaches to the decoration of objects, the processes and technologies concerned, and their contribution to expressing ideas. Through project-based explorations, students will create a unique body of work with a focus on developing skills and knowledge of graphic and textural surface treatment in relation to the transformation of three dimensional ideas. Self-direction is emphasized in the development of skills that investigate, ideate and execute solutions. Students are expected to evidence substantial research, sophistication of design ideas and planning. This course alternates over two years (even and odd years). Even years will explore overglaze decoration. Odd years will explore underglaze decoration.
