Ceramics
Ceramics 1 & 2 is taught by Mrs. Larsen. She has been teaching ceramics for 35 years now. She went to California College of Arts and majored in ceramics. It was very expensive; she had 3 jobs and 1 loan to pay it off. Mrs. Larsen gets her inspiration from figure works of women. She goes to form life drawing classes. Ceramics 1 is all about the basics and building techniques. You learn about the basics of clay and utensils. Ceramics 2 is more detailed and historical based projects. You put more of “you” into your projects. I interviewed Krystal Coogan and asked her questions about her ceramics class.
