This course provides the opportunity for students to extend their capacity to integrate technical knowledge and skills with material and contextual issues in ceramics. Projects address conceptual and formal understandings of three dimensional object design in clay and associated materials, and highlight approaches that require students to engage with issues, materials and techniques relevant to the development of ceramic surfaces appropriate to their individual practice. The course focuses ideas and skills relevant to the development of drawn, painted, photographic, printed and digitally generated images/surfaces on ceramic media. Studio activity is conducted within a context of enquiry in which students challenge the relationship between idea, material, process, application and meaning, and measure outcomes against environmental, ethical and human considerations.
