How to use silk screen process printing for designs on ceramic ware. (GR)

THE OBJECTIVES OF THIS STUDY WERE TO OBTAIN AND ESTABLISH CURRICULAR COMPONENTS FROM TECHNOLOGICAL RESEARCH AND TO PROJECT THE RESEARCH INTO AN OUTLINE OF ORGANIZED SUBJECT MATTER. THE STUDY IS LIMITED TO AN INVESTIGATION OF SELECTED SCIENTIFIC AND PRACTICAL ELEMENTS OF CERAMIC TECHNOLOGY THAT ARE RECORDED AS RESOURCE REFERENCES. THE DATA WERE…

Discusses and describes the art work of Pedre Friederberg. (RB)

Presents four ceramics activities for secondary-level art classes. Included are directions for primitive kiln construction and glaze making. Two ceramics design activities are described in which students make bizarrely-shaped lidded jars, feet, and footwear. (AM)

Discusses the development of "smart" or advanced materials such as ceramics, metals, composites, and polymers. Provides a design brief, a student learning activity with outcomes, quiz, and resources. (SK)

Although the craft and art of bookmaking has a rich history, artworks about books are relatively new. The author teaches in a school that has an international population where a variety of languages and cultures flourish. He took this opportunity to develop a ceramic unit that combined sculptural design, the history of bookmaking, and traditional…

Describes the piezoelectric effect in ceramics and presents a quantitative representation of this effect. Explains the processes involved in the manufacture of piezoelectric ceramics, the materials used, and the situations in which they are applied. (GS)

Describes a high school student's growing involvement with a pottery project. (SP)

Describes eight art activities using ceramics. Elementary students created ceramic tiles to depict ancient Egyptian and medieval European art, made ceramic cookie stamps, traced bisque plates on sketch paper, constructed clay room-tableaus, and designed clay relief masks. Secondary students pit-fired ceramic pots and designed ceramic Victorian…

Acknowledging that potting is a phenomenon, accepting Gadamer's definition of play, and observing Alex making pots leads to a description that within Alex's potting occur: 1) to-and-fro movement; 2) choices; and 3) transformation. This method may be undertaken to further describe the experience for another potter. (Author)

Clay artists occasionally turn out laughter provoking ceramics purely intended to amuse the viewer. Topsy-turvy is a project which contains ceramic "whizkiddery". While the essential "scheme of beauty" does not prevail in these sculptures, this kind of project provides fun for the artist or student. (Author/RK)

Case studies of four Spanish ceramics companies were used to construct a theoretical model of 14 factors essential to organizational learning. One set of factors is related to the conceptual-analytical phase of the product design process and the other to the creative-technical phase. All factors contributed to efficient product design management…

A study to compare the meanings ascribed by 35 occupational therapy students to puppetry, woodworking, weaving, and ceramics revealed significant differences before and after learning, especially for puppetry. Significant differences were found across activities, mainly between weaving and the other crafts. (JOW)

This learning module on composites such as polymer matrix, metal matrix, ceramic matrix, particulate, and laminar includes a design brief giving context, objectives, evaluation, student outcomes, and quiz. (SK)
