Lectures are illustrated by slides and videotapes. Students learn to differentiate artistic styles and expand their intellectual understanding of art within society. Under the supervision of a staff member, the student selects a fine arts studio or research project to develop, create, and complete. With the guidance of the appropriate staff person, arrangements are made for planning, developing, and critiquing the project. This introductory course explores hand building techniques, basic wheel throwing, ceramic decoration, and kiln firing.
Individual creativity is stressed.
A continuing course for students who have taken FAA 250.
