CERM 302 Advanced Practice is offered from January to April and provides experienced students with the opportunity to develop their technical abilities while refining their design and aesthetic through experimentation, problem-solving, and exploration of best practices. Students will submit a written proposal outlining an appropriate program, goals and scope of work. The proposal will form the basis of the contract for the work to be completed. Changes to the proposal require approval of the instructor. Students will receive one hour a week of consultation, direction and feedback from the instructor. For the remainder of the time, students are expected to be self-directed and to work professionally within communal, shared studio spaces.
Notes:
Evaluation and assignment of grades will be based upon the quality of work produced and skills demonstrated relative to the goals identified in the proposal and will take into consideration individual development, learning and mastery, experimentation and problem-solving, and self-reflection.
Prerequisites: Admission to the Advanced Certificate in Ceramics program
