(VCI) Visual & Creative Inquiry (AI-A) Aesthetic Inquiry Art

This course is designed to introduce students to basic handbuilding skills. Demos include pinch pot, slab, coil, leather-hard slab, paper armature techniques, extruder, glazing etc. Throughout the semester, students will experience handbuilding techniques to experiment and explore the possibilities of the medium. They will also facilitate skills to control the medium. The course projects offer a variety of approaches, forms, and ideas. We will be exploring realistic, abstract, non-representational forms, both pedestal work as well as wall pieces, and both functional and sculptural work.
