Ceramics Case study

Narrator: There are some art materials—like oil paint, or bronze—that people don’t usually use unless they go to art school. The works in this room are all made from a material that’s not like that at all—clay. A lot of us first used it in preschool, or even earlier. And we use ceramic mugs and plates everyday, too. Clay is so familiar, most of us probably don’t give it a lot of thought—but this room invites you to go ahead and think more about everything it can do. You’ll see elegant pots, smirking faces, colorful abstract forms, funky vessels, and one really tall man. Imagine using your hands to make these forms.
