- 10When clay is mixed with water it becomesPlastic. Moldable and cohesive
- 11To ensure performance of clayIt must be fired in a kiln at 1,200-2,700 degrees F.
*Firing changes the chemical composition so that it can never again be made plastic - 12Earliest known CeramicsFrom China dates as early as 20,000 years ago.
- 13Slab constructionRolls out clay into a sheet, allows it to dry slightly. The sheet can then be handled in many ways
(curled into cylinder, draped over a mold to make a bowl, shaped into free-form, or cut into shapes that can be pieced together) - 14CoilingRolls out rope-like strands of clay, then coils them on top of one another and joins them together.
- 15Fastest method of creating a hollow rounded form:Potter's wheel.
As the clay turns on the wheel the potter uses hands to "open" lift the clay, a process called THROWING
-always produces a round or cylindric form - 16PorcelainCeramic made by mixing kaolin, a fine white clay. When fired elements make a glassy substance
- 17GlassMade from silica, or sand.
Addition of other materials can affect color, melting, strength ect. - 18When heated the glass becomes...molten
- 19Most common way to shape a glass vessel: BLOWINGDips up molten glass at the end of a long metal tube and blows the other end to produce a glass bubble that can be shaped or cute while it is hot.

- 35Art and BeautyDuring the 18th century, art and beauty were discussed together because they were both felt to provide pleasure.
Pleasure was intellectual and we perceived it through disinterested contemplation - 36Disinterested contemplation"Disinterested" meant that we set aside any personal, practical sake we might have in what we are looking at.
For example, a peach to see if it's ripe enough to eat. We are contemplating it with a direct personal interest. If we step back and admire its color, texture, and roundness with no thought of eating it then we are contemplating it disinterestedly.
If we take pleasure, then the peach is beautiful. - 37Outsider artSelt-tought artists
