Students explore the rich history of clay busts/portraits as a starting point for both monumental works and contemporary craft. Using a variety of hand-building techniques, students create their own clay head “in the round.”
Programme Objectives
By the end of any clay programme, students will:
- Use appropriate terminology related to ceramic arts
- Assess historic and current examples of the chosen project
- Demonstrate an ability to construct a clay beast, mask, portrait or vessel using hand building techniques
