ASCE 1300 - Introduction to Ceramics

Credits: 3

Introduces the discipline of ceramics through projects, readings, and field trips. The motto of the ceramics area is “panta rhei” (everything flows) because the deformation of matter and the flowing across disciplines determine what one makes in ceramics. Students engage the Dallas community by making pots for the annual Empty Bowls food bank benefit, and they learn to use ceramic materials to analyze the ceramics they produce and to judge them critically.
