Description
Art Critique with a Focus on Ceramics
w/Jerry Bennett
An online seven (7) session course
1 PM to 3 PM Wednesdays
A ceramics critique in an art class can involve evaluating a piece of pottery for its form, technique, and meaning. It can also include considering how the piece is constructed, what it represents, and how it evokes or represents emotions. Reviewing other people's work, techniques, and artistic intent can help you clarify your thoughts, evaluate your work, and make better pottery. This online workshop, which will be an open discussion, will be fun and focused on a single artist or art design topic.
This class will use Zoom to review many ceramic artists weekly through the internet. We will discuss a design element, such as line or texture, and then look at ceramic artists or sculptures representing these design elements. We will look at the artist's intent and presentation of their work. We will explore what it means to be a practicing ceramic artist.
This internet course will focus on current art issues and design presentation of your art to increase your opportunities for exhibits and shows. Ceramic trends and a discussion about modern ceramics will benefit students to expand their understanding of "craft" and design.
