Animation
An ancient art that is open to innovation and new technologies, ceramics offers a broad vision for form, content and invention. Faculty encourage risk-taking as you master technique, inventing and blending processes to develop a personal approach to your work. Intellectual curiosity and a passion for process are essential tools for this major.

AnimationForm + The Process Of Transformation
The curriculum is grounded in conceptual issues and techniques of forming and finishing, such as sculptural building; wheel throwing; mold-making and slip-casting; and various firing methods. You will formulate and mix your own clay bodies and glazes, supported by fully stocked and equipped studio areas.
In addition to the major curriculum, students can work with kiln-formed glass, study computer modeling programs for design and digital prototyping, engage with social practice and participate in a host of elective courses. We emphasize research and presentation, with a concentration on professional practice that prepares emerging artists for a career in the arts.
