Everglades City School – Ceramics/Pottery 2

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

Students explore spatial relationships through the use of nonobjective, abstract, or representational forms, products, or structures. The instructional focus should be on ceramics and/or pottery. Processes and techniques for substitution may include but are not limited to, wheel-thrown clay, glaze formulation, and application. Media may include but are not limited to, clay and/or plaster with consideration of the workability, durability, cost, and toxicity of the media used. Ceramic and/or pottery artists experiment with and manipulate space-producing devices, including overlapping, transparency, interpenetration, vertical and horizontal axis, inclined planes, disproportionate scale, fractional or abstracted representation, and spatial properties of the structural art elements. Craftsmanship and quality are reflected in the surface and structural qualities of the completed art forms. Students in the ceramics and/or pottery art studio focus on use of safety procedures for process, media, and techniques. Student artists use an art criticism process to evaluate, explain, and measure artistic growth in personal or group works. This course incorporates hands-on activities and consumption of art materials. This course will meet the graduation requirement for Performing Fine Arts graduation credit.
