UNAM Ceramic Studies Course
University of Namibia Ceramic Studies Course
Introduction
Visual Arts
The University of Namibia’s BA degree programme which allows students to take a Visual Arts major complementary to other humanities and social science subjects is unique in the region. The appeal of this option and of the market related emphasis in the Visual Arts Curricula is demonstrated by the increasing number of students from throughout the SADC region choosing to register for Visual Arts courses in the Department of Visual and Performing Arts. The curricula are structured in such a way that they provide students with the opportunity to grow creatively and academically towards obtaining a qualification for future employment.
Ceramics Studies
Ceramics Studies has both a ‘fine art’ and an applied art focus. Graduates find employment as self supporting ceramic artists, commercial ceramic producers, teachers and community project developers,
On completion of their studies in Ceramics Studies students should be able to:
- Develop a personal creative response to a given or self generated creative research problem
- Apply their knowledge and skills to the solution of design problems in their chosen field
- Demonstrate understanding of local business requirements in their chosen field
- Demonstrate the capacity to make professional judgements and take appropriate decisions
