在3-D区域中，学生会发现空间形式的广泛范围。他们探索了各种方法，通过这些方法可以在雕塑和陶瓷中概念化和灵感化。当代趋势和对艺术发展的评估被融入到课堂项目中。作业挑战了创造力，并提供了用于通过三维形式进行交流的不同工具，材料和技术的基本理解。本科生在大型工作室中与研究生分享并互动，这些工作室配备了金属焊接，粘土模型制作和烧制，永久材料铸造以及木材建筑的设备。在“陶瓷”课程中，学生将学习粘土和釉料技术的新技术和传统技术，从而扩大在陶器和陶瓷雕塑的建筑和装饰中使用粘土，釉料和釉料的知识。该程序包括使用煤气和电
In the ceramics concentration, students focus on advancing their technical skills, artistic vision, and conceptual understanding within the field of ceramics. Building upon their foundational knowledge from undergraduate studies, students engage in a rigorous exploration of ceramic materials, techniques, and artistic expression.<br>Technical proficiency is a key focus of the program. Students refine their knowledge of ceramic materials, glazes, kiln firing processes, and surface treatments. They experiment with different clay bodies and firing techniques, expanding their understanding of the material possibilities and pushing the boundaries of traditional ceramic practices. Through hands-on work in the studio, students develop a mastery of throwing, handbuilding, mold-making, glazing, and other ceramic techniques.<br>Conceptual development and artistic exploration are equally important. Students are encouraged to develop their own artistic voice and conceptual framework within the medium of ceramics. They explore various themes, narratives, and aesthetic concepts, and experiment with unconventional approaches to clay as a sculptural material. They investigate the relationship between form, surface, texture, and function, and explore innovative approaches to ceramic art that challenge traditional boundaries.<br>The program incorporates critical discourse and theoretical studies. Students engage in critical analysis of contemporary ceramic art and explore relevant theoretical frameworks that inform their artistic practice. They examine historical and cultural contexts of ceramics, contemporary debates, and the socio-political implications of ceramic art, deepening their understanding of the field and its broader significance.<br>Collaborative opportunities and interdisciplinary approaches are encouraged within the program. Students engage in collaborations with artists from other disciplines or explore the integration of ceramics with other media, such as sculpture, installation, performance, or digital technologies. These experiences broaden students' perspectives, foster interdisciplinary thinking, and encourage experimentation beyond traditional ceramic practices.
