This is an advanced level course in which students are encouraged to stretch the limits of each assignment by being as creative as possible. Students who are seriously interested Ceramics may elect to create a portfolio of 20 or more original works (in slide form) for Advanced Placemen Studio Art 3-D Design Portfolio evaluation in early May.
Fall Semester Ceramics 3-4 Projects
& Alternative Conceptual Approaches:
OR Alternative conceptual approaches that demonstrates modular development
OR Alternative conceptual approaches work that demonstrates an understanding of balance
OR Alternative conceptual approaches work that demonstrates an understanding of an integration of color, texture, and form
OR Alternative conceptual approaches work that demonstrates an understanding of Assemblage or constructive work that demonstrates transformation
OR Alternative conceptual approaches work that focuses on transitions, such as organic to mechanical
OR Alternative conceptual approaches work that uses light or shadow to determine form, with particular attention to surface
Commemorative or Self Portrait
OR Alternative conceptual approaches work that embodies
line, plane, mass, or volume
Each student will develop a written proposal based on their
personal interests or theme that they would like to investigate
in order to create an area of concentration, a series of 3 or
more works that are conceptually related, such as:
A series of animal or mechanical objects that begin with representational
interpretations and evolve into abstraction
A series of portrait heads, busts, and entire figures
A series of cups, bowls, and plates thrown on the potter's wheel
A series of conceptually related approaches of sculptures that
embodies the principles of design
e-PortfolioProject Over the course of the school year, students will carefully select examples of their ceramic work and take digital photographs of their work, in order to create an e-Portfolio that describes a minimum of three original works and an area of concentration of art as a culminating project in an Advanced Ceramics course.
Academic Expectations:
Plagiarism It is unethical to copy an image that was made by someone else, all work must be original. If students produce work that makes use of another's work, including published photographs, the student must make significant changes to the artwork so it moves beyond duplication.
