The Ceramics program is the only one of its kind in Quebec and one of five university-level ceramics programs in Canada. The Major emphasizes the link between ceramics as a specialized practice and its broader context within an ever-changing cultural sphere. Traditional techniques such as hand building, wheel, slip casting, glazing and firing are examined, along with contemporary clay applications such as installations and the integration of digital imagery.
Course content involves seminar discussions including the social and ethical roles of the artist, issues related to the current practice of ceramics and other art disciplines, diverse cultural and social contexts relating to the production and circulation of art, and the role of the viewer. Collaborative and cross-disciplinary projects with other programs are encouraged and Special Topic courses are sometimes offered at the intermediate and advanced levels. Advanced students explore personal approaches that meet their special interests, and develop a unique body of work. Field trips, visiting artists & student exhibitions add to the vitality of the program.
These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.
