300 1. What is form ?
300 2. What is function?
300 3. How does form relate to function?
300 4. How do aesthetics relate to form and function?
400 This unit emphasizes the investigation and study of functional ware, the investigation of historical uses of ceramic ware, and the study and discussion of balance, ergonomics, aesthetics and function.
500 Students will develop the ability to:
500 
500 -- identify functional needs to be met through ceramic design,
500 -- plan and design functional ceramic pieces that successfully address 
500 specific uses and functions,
500 -- create ceramic forms through appropriate forming techniques to satisfy specific 
500 functions and needs,
500 -- create functional forms that address and satisfy aesthetic and ergonomic concerns. 
600 All students will:
600 
600 -- complete a vessel with at least one handle that is used to contain and dispense a liquid beverage,
600 -- plan, design, build, and complete a serving dish,
600 -- identify needs in daily life that can be addressed through the design and construction of ceramic ware,
600 -- critique and evaluate specific ceramic vessels regarding usefulness and practicality of function.
700 1. Homework is used as a formative and summative evaluation tool.
700 2. Matching, fill in the blank, and short answer quizzes are used to access concrete information such as vocabulary, equipment use, and procedures.
700 3. Project evaluations may take the form of group critiques, rating scales, checklists, written evaluations, and teacher interviews.
700 4. A portfolio ia a demonstration of skills learned and of personal and aesthetic growth. A portfolio is a body of work that stands as a visual record of the creative process experienced throughout the semester.
700 5. Group discussions give insight into the creative process and problem-solving, providing an avenue for learning, how to talk about art, how to view art, and how to improve skills.
