FNAR 329 Pottery II

Prerequisite: FNAR 119 and 229

Spring

              This course will provide intermediate students with a series of

wheel-forming assignments to advance the basic skills learned in Pottery I.

The assignments will be aimed at improving control, making larger and more

Complex pieces than before, and making uniform sets of objects, with

associated concerns of functionality and aesthetics.

              The emphasis will be on practice and on the production of a set range

of objects, but students will also be exposed to the historical background of pottery

making and to works from various cultures from antiquity to the present,

from which they can draw ideas and inspiration for their own work.
