    BOX-IT: How to cover many basic Intro-class objectives with one assignment
    (2024-03-21) Wecker, Sabine
    The poster Box it: How to cover many basic Intro-class objectives with one assignment is about teaching an intro to ceramics class in a short period. The ceramic field is very wide, and the amount of theoretical knowledge, hands on skills, technical skills and artistic skills that need to be covered in one semester is intense. The poster shows a way on how to layer and connect objectives from all areas. This includes hands on skills in the fabrication methods on making, theoretical knowledge of clay, surface development and implementation, glaze theory, hands on glaze handling, firing, use of equipment, and lastly an artistic approach to ceramic. I had shown how the box assignment offers an opportunity to connect the many important areas step by step, slowly incorporating hands on skills and theoretical frameworks. The annual conference of the National Council on Education for the Ceramic arts is the biggest conference in North America related to Ceramic. The poster presentation is a way to extend /exchange knowledge from across the field beside the panel discussions, demonstrations, presentations within the conference. Twenty posters were accepted for this year’s conference. They were exhibited beside the emerging artists exhibition, at the entrance of the resource hall for the duration of the conference (March 20 -March 23, 2024). On March 21st, 3pm- 5pm, the poster’s had their official presentation time slot in the program, where all 20 posters were presented by their makers. The two-hour interaction with visitors was very fruitful.
