CRAM-308-SU01-2025: Exploring Scale: Vessels and Sculpture
This course will explore the technical and conceptual challenges inherent in creating large ceramic vessels and sculptures. Students will collaborate to explore a variety of methods for constructing forms, with a focus on building techniques and strategies for effectively managing scale in ceramics. Through a series of prompts, students will develop self-directed projects, engaging with scale models and iterative processes related to their designs. The exploration will encompass a wide range of materials, techniques, processes, and concepts. Research on historical precedents and contemporary applications, both within ceramics and other art practices, will provide context for presentations, discussions, and critiques, all of which are integral components of this course.
