ARTS 1314L - Indigenous Pottery

Credits: 3

Study of Indigenous Pottery in the American Southwest. This course presents an archaeological anthropology study of traditional pottery making from New Mexico, Arizona and Mexico. The study and making of Indigenous pottery includes those of the Anasazi, Sinagua, Patayan and Hohokam Indigenous cultures. Using a road map, students are assigned to an area of pottery making that originates from a specific archaeological site. This research is used to create site/specific pottery. Hands on pottery making methods include coil building and old style surface polishing of functional forms and small sculptures. The contrast between ceremonial as opposed to decorative pottery is discussed.

Offered: Occasionally.
Six lab hours.
