Mosaics I

Catalog description

This hands-on studio art course focuses on the relationship between image and object through an exploration of ceramic tile and mosaics. Found adorning the most sacred of spaces and often performing the most mundane of functions, ceramic tile is a form of artistic inquiry that explores the intersection of art and utility. Topics include visual perception and language; basic painting and drawing methods; non-objective, abstract and representational imagery; and the construction, firing, and glazing of ceramic tile and mosaics. Classes also include technical demonstrations, practice time, and critiques. All are welcome.
