Bachelor of Fine Arts in Studio Art - Ceramics

University of North Texas

Ceramics - an ancient yet critical industry of today. Turn your passion into your profession Since prehistoric times, ceramic materials have had significant roles. Fine artists advance professionally as their work circulates and they establish a reputation for their particular style. Many of the most successful artists continually develop new ideas, and their work often evolves over time. The Ceramics program is an engaged and inclusive community of undergraduate and graduate students, technical staff and accomplished faculty who promote excellence in the field. Students work in the new 10 million Art Annex with the oldest of nature's materials while practicing contemporary methods of fine art, craft, technology and design.The Studio Art B.F.A. with a concentration in Ceramics offers knowledge, aesthetics, technical approaches and invention through hands-on experiences with raw materials and technical processes. We strive to have a diverse and inclusive outlook on contemporary ceramic art history and theory which also encompasses non-western art and craft. In the classroom, we cover current issues of social practice, sustainability and interdisciplinary practices which reflect the current cultural landscape.
