Abstract

Through this capstone project I sought a deeper understanding of the materials used in ceramic arts and expanded upon existing themes in my work. The main theme explored was the winged human figure. I have drawn such figures for years and have been working on creating successful representations in clay. I studied with Ron Mazanoswki of the NIU School of Art ceramics department over the summer to begin work on my capstone research and again this fall to finish this capstone project. I found that both the fragile and heavy nature of clay worked against the construction of the delicate figures I strove for. Now I have chosen to use mixed media in my final piece. The piece will still be mostly stoneware clay and will be a summation of my education in the School of Art.
