Overview

Beginning classes in the Visual Arts (Ceramics) programme at Boise State University emphasize the development of technical skills, art making strategies and knowledge of ceramics history. Intermediate classes provide further immersion in the above and also focus on the development of methodologies for realizing a self-directed and rigorous work practice. Advanced study in ceramics stresses directed guidance toward producing independent, professional work. Further development of technical, iconographic and conceptual concerns and an understanding of the critical, conceptual and theoretical issues surrounding contemporary art are emphasized.
