| Description (ECIAD) | This course will present material on the history
of ceramics from the Neolithic to the beginning
of the 20th Century. The course is structured
around aesthetics and themes specific to
ceramics, and one of these will be reviewed each
week through a visual presentation followed by a
discussion of an assigned reading. Beyond
chronology and geography, the material presented
and discussed weekly will focus on the social and
aesthetic contexts, in order to engage with an
examination of meaning in ceramics and analyze
the fundamental role it plays within history and
culture, as well as art, design, craft and media
practices. Research, presentations, discussions
and written assignments are an integral part of
this course. |
