Selected Experiences And Teaching Procedures, Using Clay As A Medium, For Developing Creativity In The Nine-To-Eleven Year-Old, Linda Claire Hohn

All Master's Theses

In the opinion of the investigator, the experiment reported reinforces the hypothesis that greater imagination and creative ability can be fostered in the nine-to-eleven year-old through giving primary consideration to the developmental needs of this age group when presenting a medium. Also that a systematically structured approach to the use of the medium facilitates the child's creative growth and makes progress an unavoidable issue.

All Master's Theses

The artist should employ his sense of playful experimentation that requires the re-investigation of old manners and styles.

The Development Of A Cone Four Ware From Materials Easily Accessible To Central Washington College Of Education, Lura Elizabeth Bellamy

All Master's Theses

The purpose of this paper is to describe, explain and conclude a series of experiments in search of the development of a clay body that would have the characteristics of: (1) vitrifying at Cone 4, yet be refractory enough to withstand the heat; and (2) being plastic so that is works well on the wheel. Additional study involved the experimentation of glazes on the clay bodies with the hopes of finding some to fit. The factors determining the use of clays that are economical and easily accessible to Central Washington College of Education were also considered.
