Odyssey Charter Schools 9-12 High School – Ceramics I

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

This course emphasizes the role of the fine artist as a skilled craftsperson. Creativity, artistic styles, 3-D composition, techniques for hand building with clay, reflection, and critique are all components of this course. While there are guidelines that must be adhered to for students to successfully learn techniques and begin to develop a mastery of skills, students will also explore creative and innovative ideas through open-ended questioning as they develop original ideas for creating works of art in clay. Students will have the opportunity to explore the medium and learn the foundational techniques associated with it, along with continuing to develop analytical/critical thinking and fine motor skills.
