192
EARTHENWARE
3.0 Units
ART 192 is an intermediate course in ceram-
ics, dealing specifically with earthenware,
or low-fired ceramics. A variety of forming
techniques are studied, including slab and
wheel. Students experiment with earthen-
ware clay bodies, glazes, underglazes, and
slips. Specific projects include glaze formu-
lation and testing, underglazing, majolica
(in-glaze painting), and overglazing (lusters, computations and includes certain ceramic
China paints, and decals). Lecture 2.5 hours/
Laboratory 1.5 hours. Prerequisite: ART
186 or 190 or equivalent. Recommended
Preparation: ART 130. Transfer Credit:
CSU, UC, USC
193
RAKU
3.0 Units
ART 193 is an introductory course in ceram-
ics dealing exclusively with the raku firing
process. Projects are drawn from a variety
of forming methods including coil, slab,
pinch and wheel, which will be fired by the
Japanese raku process. Students prepare
Raku clays and glazes to use in the execu-
tion of their projects. Lecture 2 hours/Studio earthenware technique in depth. Students
2 hours. Prerequisite: ART 186 or 190 or
equivalent. Recommended Preparation:
ART 130. Course Typically Offered: Fall.
Transfer Credit: CSU, UC, USC
194
ADVANCED RAKU
3.0 Units
ART 194 is an advanced course in ceram-
ics dealing exclusively with the raku firing
process. Students propose and execute an
advanced research project in Raku forming
and firing techniques. Students develop
and select Raku clays, glazes, and firing
techniques to use in the execution of their
research project. Advanced firing procedures
are emphasized. Lecture 2.5 hours/Labora-
tory 1.5 hours. Prerequisite: ART 193 or
equivalent. Transfer Credit: CSU, UC, USC

GLAZE CALCULATION
3.0 Units
ART 195 is an introduction to basic glaze
and clay calculations. The students learn to
calculate molecular weights, molecular glaze
formulas, and batch recipes. Students use
general glaze theory with calculating proce-
dures to analyze and substitute (or create
from the beginning) glazes and clay bodies.
The course involves simple arithmetical
laboratory skills and safety precautions for
handling chemicals. This course prepares the
student for employment in the ceramic indus-
try. Lecture 2.5 hours/Laboratory 1.5 hours.
Prerequisite: ART 187 or 191 or equivalent.

196
ADVANCED EARTHENWARE
3.0 Units
ART 196 is an advanced course in ceramics,
dealing specifically with earthenware, or
low-fired ceramics. Students experiment
with earthenware clay bodies, glazes,
underglazes, and slips. Students propose an
individual research project to study a specific ping action, and anticipation are discussed.
may choose to focus on glaze formulation
and testing, underglazing, majolica (in-glaze
painting), or overglazing (lusters, China
paints, and decals). Students learn technique
specific loading and firing techniques for the
electric kiln. Oxidation firing effects will be
explored. Lecture 2 hours/Studio 2 hours.
Prerequisite: ART 192 or equivalent. Trans-
fer Credit: CSU, UC, USC
199
HISTORY OF PHOTOGRAPHY
3.0 Units
ART 199 is a survey of international photog-
raphy from its beginnings through contem-
porary developments in the field. Students
examine photography as a medium of
artistic and social communication. Lecture
3 hours. Prerequisite: None. Course Typi-
cally Offered: Spring. Transfer Credit: CSU,
UC, USC
201
DRAWING FOR ANIMATION
3.0 Units
ART 201 introduces students to drawing
for animation. Learning to draw from the
imagination is a primary goal of this course.
Students learn to analyze and construct the
human figure and animals as well as to
create environments for animated characters.
Topics discussed include gesture and atti-
tude drawing, structure, weight, anatomy,
and perspective. Drapery and lighting are
also be discussed. Lecture 2 hours/Studio
2 hours. Prerequisite: ART 152 or equiva-
lent. Recommended Preparation: ART 130.
Course Typically Offered: Fall. Transfer

205
FUNDAMENTALS OF ANIMATION I
3.0 Units
ART 205 provides students with instruction
in the fundamental principles of traditional
animation with a focus on timing. Students
learn to apply drawing and observation skills
to a series of animation pencil tests. Prin-
ciples such as squash and stretch, overlap-
Other topics include creating effective key
poses and attitude drawings. Lecture 2
hours/Studio 2 hours. Prerequisite: ART
201 or equivalent.
206
FUNDAMENTALS OF ANIMATION II
3.0 Units
ART 206 provides students with the oppor-
tunity to conceive and execute an animated
short film, which requires the student to use
representational skills in service of express-
ing a well-designed story idea. Lecture 2
hours/Studio 2 hours. Prerequisite: ART
205 or equivalent. Recommended Prepara-
tion: ART 130.
209
INTRODUCTION TO CHARACTER
DESIGN
3.0 Units
ART 209 introduces students to character
design for animation. Students explore and
develop traits of particular characters and
particular archetypes. Students draw from
life as well as from the imagination. Topics
to be discussed include shape, silhouette,
color, caricature, underlying structure, and
costume. Students will be expected to keep
a sketchbook and to create model sheets for
their own personal designs. Lecture 2 hours/
Studio 2 hours. Prerequisite: ART 201 or
equivalent. Transfer Credit: CSU
