Curse Measurable Objectives: 1. Differentiate between clay and clay bdies. 2. Identify kiln types, firing temperatures and atmspheres fr bisque and glaze firings. 3. Apply rganic references fr develpment f pinch pt prjects. 4. Demnstrate making slabs f clay by rlling and thrwing them. 5. Apply research f masks and curvilinear frms fr develpment f sft slab cnstructin prjects. 6. Use architectural references and hard edge frms as inspiratin fr hard slab prjects. 7. Demnstrate cil clay cnstructin. 8. Use histrical references fr cil prjects. 9. Demnstrate safe use f grinding wheel and glaze mixer. 10. Use wet clay surface treatment fr carving, stamping, stenciling, sgraffit, mishima, wax resist and slip applicatin. 11. Apply glazes and xides in apprpriate cmbinatins. 12. Analyze and use 3 dimensinal frm t determine glaze and xide applicatin. 13. Describe cmpsitin f glazes and safe use f thse materials. 14.

- Use f ceramic hand cnstructin techniques t make and finish assigned prjects - Slutins t specific design and technical prblems - Use research f histrical and cntemprary ceramics as references fr prjects - Make patterns fr hand built prjects - Use safe studi practices Categry 4. Objective Examinatins: - Shrt answer quiz cvering ceramic terminlgy - Final exam cvering vcabulary, materials and prcess 5. Sample Assignments: 1. Referencing rganic frms, use the pinch methd f cnstructin t make rattles. First pinch tw small bwls with the same diameter rim, add sme dry clay befre sealing the tw bwls tgether t make a hllw frm. Yu have just made a bubble ut f clay that can be manipulated and shaped int a frm that resembles a seed, nut, fruit r ther rganic shape. As yur clay reaches the sft leather hard cnditin, give yur rattle mre clarity f frm and be sure yur rattle rattles. Be sure t make an air hle in it befre taking it t the kiln rm. This prject will be fired lw temperature in the raku kiln r the electric kiln. 2. Research and bring t class images f masks frm a variety f cultures that will be used as reference and inspiratin fr cnstructin f yur wn mask. The mask that yu make will be cnstructed frm slabs f sft clay and slumped ver a frm t give it dimensin. In designing yur piece, cnsider the persnality and emtin that yu want t cnvey. Determine if yu want t assign a cntemprary r histrical sensatin t that bject and hw yu wuld accmplish that. Use yur ntebk t develp wrking drawings befre yu begin the prject. 3. After viewing a ceramics exhibit, write a 3-4 page critical review. Chse 3 pieces frm the exhibit t address in yur writing. Include a descriptin f thse pieces, why yu liked r disliked the wrk, what the artist(s) wants t cmmunicate and their success at that, and yur best guess f hw the wrk was made. Yur paper shuld have an intrductin describing the exhibit as a whle and a cnclusin evaluating the museum r gallery experience. 6.
