I want to get rid of my college biology class , because i have 3 years of science and ceramics is one of my choices. My question is it a challenging class ? Apparently the ceramics at my school you have to use a pottery wheel thing and you have to make pots/vases/cups all year long. I'm all ready taking : photography, glass craft class, studio art and arts and communications.
A lot of the challenge will depend on the teacher, how knowledgeable they are about the subject and if they push you to do interesting work. If the instructor does not challenge you, will you be able to challenge yourself to make interesting work in this medium? In ceramics you have to be prepared to accept that some vessels just do not turn out. Some pieces that you love will be destroyed in the kiln, sometimes through no fault of your own. Vessels can be fascinating or terribly dull, depending on your point of view and your willingness to experiment. Are you prepared to challenge your views on what a bowl, a cup or plate can be? Can you see past students work to know if you want to do similar work?
Also take into account that your schedule is very Studio heavy, would taking the college bio class mean you get college credit? If so, have you weighed the value of what that class would cost to take in college vs. taking ceramics from a college professor?
Just some things to think about.
