Ceramics D
MSTD2512
This unit may be combined with other approved units of study. The unit continues to expand and develop ceramic studio skills, through studio-based projects, as well as to provide the opportunity for students to identify an area of interest and develop that as a major project. This unit further develops skills in hand-building and wheel-throwing, that were introduced in Semester One, as well as providing an introduction to casting. Students develop design skills through the planning of their projects. Students continue to develop their understanding of technology (clays and glazes), learn to make their own casting slips, learn about high temperature glazes and learn to fire gas kilns. They identify an individual glaze project and develop it over the period of the semester. Through individual and group discussions, students explore and learn to articulate individual concepts and interests. Drawing is seen as integral to studio practice, and it is expected that students maintain a drawing/ studio journal.
