The AP 3D / Advanced Ceramics Page will be used to view and respond to ceramic art by notable artists in the field. Members will be asked to respond to work initially asking the following questions:

Does the work have an identifiable style?

What are the markers or characteristics of its style?

Rate the formal aspects of this work: contrast, line, form, color, texture, etc.

Does the piece make the most of its functional or sculptural aspect?

Does the work express feelings or emotions?  Does it do that clearly?

Do the various parts of the work seem to belong together?

If glaze is the piece’s clothes, how well dressed is this piece?

How would you make this piece better?

Is there anything going on with this work that could benefit your own work?

Following the initial comments, members will be asked to complete a follow-up response addressing comments made by fellow students. Although the follow-up is meant to create a dialogue among participants, it is not meant to be critical of another's point of view.

Each response is worth 10 points.
