Pieces made in demos at Ohio U. by Del Harrow, Linda Lopez and Mathew McConnell
If someone gives a demonstration of their process, they take the viewer through some of the steps that they take to make their art. Demos are important because each demo is a little different. If the work of two demos is similar, maybe the conversation will be different. Like other craft materials, the ceramic process is usually vaguely-defined from artist-to-artist. In this photo alone we have (respectively) hand building with coils; hand building with coils, with coils added to the surface to create another surface; and creating an object, making a plaster mold of it, then casting the mold in clay.
Demos use craft materials and processes, but are not art.

ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, I believe that the demos that use craft materials and processes are art. I think that anything can be art. Art can be just a crumpled piece off paper ( I have actually used that in a project). Each demo is different, so they are unique. I disagree with this article, but that is just my opinion. I have been through so many art classes and processes, I believe these demos are ART!!
