This interactive course focuses on learning ceramics techniques and refining essential visual art skills. Students will learn how to manipulate clay using methods such as pinch pots, coil building, score-and-slip, slab construction, and sculpting. As they practice these techniques, the students will upgrade their fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and spatial awareness. They will also develop their ability to measure and control proportions, and work with different textures and forms. Additionally, students will gain an understanding of how to join pieces of clay together securely, ensuring strong and durable creations. By the end of the course, the students will have gained valuable skills that can be applied to other art forms and everyday tasks.
