### art genre:

Ceramic
* All ceramics crack when cold shocked by a rapid change in temperature.
* Many ceramics are good electrical and thermal insulators
  - glazes also contain toxic metals such as lead and chromium
* Most ceramics are made up of two or more elements
  - resist heat and chemicals
* Some ceramics have the ability to form solid solutions
  - unusual property of piezoelectricity, or pressure electricity
* also have the ability to create high-frequency vibrations
  - remain stable over long time periods
* are a class of materials which exhibit a wide range of potentially useful properties
  - also extremely hard, resisting wear and abrasion
  - as soft as clay and as hard as stone and concrete
  - brittle, strong and non-conducting materials
  - extremely strong, showing considerable stiffness under compression and bending
* are hard and strong, but brittle
  - but lightweight, with good heat, wear and corrosion resistance
  - hard, brittle materials which are good electrical and heat insulators
  - inherently bioinert and they possess excellent hardness and strength to failure
  - materials formed by heating and cooling
  - of two basic types
  - probably best known as electrical insulators
  - resistant to more chemicals, but are prone to breakage
  - strong, hard, and durable
  - the hardest materials available, but lack ductility and are brittle
  - valued for their mechanical properties, including strength, durability, and hardness
  - very efficient, holding heat and using very little charcoal
* can be excellent insulators, semiconductors, superconductors, and magnets
  - hard yet lightweight, with the ability to be heat, wear, and corrosion resistant
* come from the soil of the earth and the hands of crafty potters
  - in a tremendous number of sizes, patterns, and colors
* document the history and symbolism of a civilization.
* ductile at low temperatures.
* explores clay as an art medium.
* generally have strong bonds and light atoms.
* have many uses, including crockery and furnace linings
  - superior mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties ideal for quality components
* help decrease pollution, capture toxic materials and encapsulate nuclear waste.
* is art
  - instrumentation
  - made of clay
* lot more than the process of baking shaped clay.
* make up one of three large classes of solid materials.
* play an important role in addressing various environmental needs.
* science of solids.
* survive well in most types of soil, whether arid or waterlogged.
* vary in electrical properties from excellent insulators to superconductors.
+ Materials science, Ceramics and glasses
  * Another application of the material sciences is the structures of glass and ceramics, typically associated with the most brittle materials. Ceramics and glasses use covalent bonds and ionic-covalent bonds with SiO2, silica or sand, as a fundamental building block. Ceramics are as soft as clay and as hard as stone and concrete. Usually, they are crystalline in form. Most glasses contain a metal oxide fused with silica. At high temperatures used to prepare glass, the material is a viscous liquid. Glass forms into an amorphous structure when it is cooled. Windowpanes and eyeglasses are important examples.

Christian art
* uses many symbols constructively.
* varies in style and quality and message.

Classical art
* is an art that deals with emotions than pure form
  - the true art of Europe, the true art of our people
* particular kind of idealistic art.

Computer art
* carry the birthmark of the systems that created it.
* encompasses a variety of methods.
* evolves through a succession of generations.
* requires the study of both art and computer technology.
