Introduction to Studio Art Composition, color theory, perspective, and scale will be studied as the basis for work in all art media. I Students solve problems of design and space in scales varying from furniture prototypes to public buildings. Architectural forms are derived from the consideration of the human needs of the building's program or functions. These projects are developed an presented with model construction and drawings. Slide lectures and building tours supplement the studio critiques.
Students are responsible for their own supplies.
I This course introduces students to the various steps required in forming, finishing, glazing and firing stoneware clay objects. Hand-building construction techniques such as pinch, coil and slab are stressed. In addition, each student will receive instruction in forming vessels on the potter's wheel. Exploration into the unique physical characteristics of clay and how it contributes to the content of the work being formed will be a major focus of the course. The vessel, functional or non functional, will be used as a starting point in all project assignments.
