The human figure has played a large role in the particular vocabulary of forms specific to ceramic practice. This course will investigate figurative ceramic sculpture in its technical and conceptual aspects. Issues of scale, from the figurine to life-sized and beyond, of representation, of abstraction, of gender and of various issues implicit in the topic will be explored. Content and presentation as they affect experience and the communication of ideas will be considered. Studio work, demonstrations, researches and presentations, discussions and critiques form an integral part of this course.

Priority is given to CRCP and VIAR students in Years 3 and 4. Students outside of the registration priority group may register/waitlist for this course as of the registration rule release date.
