Class projects will cover a variety of skills, media, and content. We will start with an  drawing project as a foundation on which to review and then build additional skills and knowledge. This page will contain important details, resources, and information related to each project. It is your responsibility to use this page to help guide and reinforce your learning.

Inspiration: Japanese Ceramics

11/13/2014

 
To complement the wheel-throwing experience, you will be completing a handbuilt project, inspired by the history of Japanese ceramics (see presentation above)

The objectives of this lesson include:

1. Review and practice of pinch, slab, and coil methods so that they can be carefully considered as handbuilding methods to use in this project
2. Develop an original idea, through brainstorming and project-planning, which is based on an understanding of Japanese ceramics and the "Japanese aesthetic" in general
3. Complete the construction of your ceramic form while applying an understanding of clay as a medium, the processes with which it can be manipulated, and the combination of original ideas and inspiration gleaned from traditional and contemporary Japanese art forms

Japanese Aesthetic: The modern study of Japanese aesthetics only started a little over two hundred years ago in the West. The Japanese aesthetic is a set of ancient ideals that include wabi (transient and stark beauty), sabi (the beauty of natural patina and aging), and yūgen (profound grace and subtlety)
