Grant High School – Ceramics: Advanced 5-6

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

This advanced course builds on the skills and concepts introduced in Ceramics: Intermediate and is designed for those highly motivated students who have a strong interest in Ceramics. We will explore the history, culture, and current artistic concerns of the Ceramic arts at a higher level. Students will problem solve in concept development, time management, and execution of work with an emphasis on complex design problems. Students will use their sketchbooks for exploration of ideas, warm ups, and vocabulary. Student evaluation is based on sketchbook work as well as completion and understanding of assignments and major projects. Time management, self-motivation, and excellent work habits are key components to being successful in this class. Students should have the ability to maturely work independently and cooperatively with others in a studio environment. This course allows students to associate their learning to career pathways in the 3D arts realm. Students' career exploration will develop through visiting professionals, and gallery and business tours geared toward the application of the 3D arts.
