The word CERAMICS is from the Greek word "Keramos" meaning
burned earth.The purpose of Ceramics is to give students
a basic understanding of artistic expression through clay.
The experience of ART provides learning that engages a
students mind, heart, and body. Such exposure can be
incredibly meaningful. Studies have been shown that students who had rich art experiences in school "were stronger in their ability to express their thoughts and ideas, exercise their imaginations, and take risks in their learning".
Good art programs engage students in creative thinking,
analysis, synthesis, evaluation, problem-solving and decision making (higher-order thinking skills). They allow students to use both hemispheres of the brain and develop cognitive, affective and psychomotor skills. Art is about thinking. Michelangelo said, "A man paints with his brains, not his hands."
