2019-20 Unit Plan
Ceramics

Mission Statement

皇冠新现金网陶艺课程为陶土建筑的技术和美学方面提供了坚实的基础. Although ceramics as a creative art medium is emphasized, students also study the interrelationship between industry, business and ceramics. 我们的员工努力提供全面的艺术教育,包括为就业和高等教育目的开发工作组合所需的技能指导.

Program Description

陶瓷课程最近经历了重大的课程修订,以配合新的C-ID描述符,并消除课程的可重复性.  Beginning in Fall, 2013, we have been offering four courses: ART 50, 52, and 56, Beginning, Intermediate, and Advanced Ceramics, and ART 54, which focuses on low-fire glazes and surface treatments.  Beginning classes introduce and develop fundamental skills, while Intermediate, Advanced, 和低火类为学生提供了发展技术和工作的机会,这将为他们的转移和高级工作和/或作为艺术家的就业做准备. Students can earn a Certificate of Achievement and/or an A.A. degree in Ceramics.
Classes are offered in a spacious classroom (ARTS 140) and Glaze Room, which includes an outdoor state-of�the-art laboratory.  The Arts Department Chair, three Associate faculty members, and a lab technician are responsible for the operation of the area.

Program Review (Optional)

在我们的项目评审验证报告中没有特别针对陶瓷的建议.  However, 为支持陶瓷领域取得的成就,提出了以下表扬:   

  • 验证小组赞扬美术部门保持高水平的质量指导. 专职和副教师和部门工作人员从事专业发展. 显然,他们努力工作,努力使艺术相关的主题变得有趣, relevant, and accessible to our students.  

    Since the retirement of Idie Adams over 5 years ago, this area has been largely managed by Associate Faculty and Scott Bryson, lab tech., with oversight of Department Chair David Cooper.  Lynn Facchini, Margie Allen, Cathy Hudin, 和斯科特承担了巨大的负担,使这个非常成功的项目得以继续下去,这一点值得赞扬. 

  • 评审小组赞扬系所致力为学生提供更多学习机会, 包括制定与陶艺课程中“背驮式”课程和“拆分式”课程相关的战略决策. 该项目具有包容性,吸引并服务于不同的学生群体, including older and disabled students. Students’ safety is protected, 在不断努力的基础上,增加学生在多个部分的课程经验的一致性, and students experience high persistence and success rates.

Future Development Strategies

Strategy 1 - Increase AA-Degree Completion

From previous Unit Plan:  在国家转移模式课程框架内工作,开发和提供艺术工作室的AA-T学位课程,重点是陶瓷.  指导学生提高他们对这些专业的认识,鼓励他们将毕业视为一个有意义的目标.

Update:  We developed and received approval for an AA-T Degree in Studio Art.  It became available to students as-of the start of the last academic year.  因为国家批准授予学位太晚了,以至于无法列入目录, a supplement was produced by Heather Rau, and is currently in use by counselors advising students.  在艺术系内部,我们一直在传播这一信息,并鼓励学生努力实现这一学位.

Requested Non-Financial Resources

None.

Current Financial Resources

大约一年前,陶瓷实验室最有价值的电炉之一发生了一场名副其实的熔毁,导致其完全被毁. This kiln, because of its “front loading” design, ,由“残疾学生服务”资助,让残疾学生有机会学习如何装卸电炉. 我们已经采购了一个新窑,它比原来的规模小得多,成本也低得多, 但仍将有效地为残疾学生提供方便的工具和学习机会, 同时也是陶瓷工作室效率和质量的整体资产. We would like to investigate if there may be funding, or even partial funding available from DSPS for a new kiln.
