课程简介
手工形成的粘土记录了制造商的触感。眼睛定义形式,思想和心灵赋予艺术品以意义。其元素的非常个性化的渲染使一件艺术品与众不同。宾夕法尼亚州立大学的陶瓷既欢迎功能性的陶艺家,也欢迎雕刻家。它为每个学生提供了以专业的方式寻找和追求其艺术视野所需的工具。为了奠定技术知识的基础,我们讲授了传统的陶瓷技术,包括黏土混合,手工制作,抛轮,模具制造,粉浆浇铸,玻璃和窑炉烧制。在这些基本技术的基础上,逐渐鼓励学生拥有他/她发现必不可少的意义的位置。阅读,讨论,幻灯片演示和访问艺术家,都可以增强这一过程。通过提供广泛的参考资料
Formed by hand, clay documents the maker's touch. The eye defines the form and the mind and the heart give the work of art its meaning. The very personal rendering of its elements is what makes a work of art unique. Ceramics at Penn State welcomes both functional potters-and sculptors alike. It provides each student with the tools needed to find and pursue his or her artistic vision in a professional manner.<br><br>In order to lay a foundation of technical knowledge we teach traditional ceramics techniques including, clay mixing, hand-building, wheel throwing, mold making, slip casting, glazing, and kiln firing. Building on these basic techniques, the student is gradually encouraged take ownership of where he/she finds indispensable meaning. Readings, discussions, slide presentations, and visiting artists, augment this process. Diverse faculty interests and approaches add to the educational experience by providing a wide swath of reference materials, which include contemporary theory, artists, exhibition practices, and criticism. Attendance and participation in related conferences and symposia is seriously encouraged. Over time, the making process takes on a life of its own. Craft and art conventions merge, sometimes leading to investigations outside of those strongly embedded in the traditions of ceramics. The cross disciplinary nature of a diverse art education builds freely upon the foundational knowledge learned at the front end.<br><br>At all levels, ceramic history and contemporary art criticism are taught in conjunction with working techniques arid practical studio skills to enable the students to graduate as thinking artists with a notion of their own artistic voice. Many of our alumni have been offered a variety of professional opportunities including graduate school, residencies, apprenticeships, and teaching opportunities. A great percentage continue in their ceramic art making. Ceramics at Penn State has artistic professionalism at its core.
