Week 5 Readings
1. A toolkit: Read contemporary ceramics texts
1.1. 2-minute Practice: Spot the CLAIM
Find any short exhibition introduction or artist statement online (or reuse a course page excerpt). In 2 minutes, write:
-
CLAIM (one sentence):
-
Two evidence words you expect to see: (e.g., clay, glaze, kiln, scale, installation, archive, community)
REVEAL (Model answer):
CLAIM: “The exhibition argues that contemporary ceramics connects everyday objects to identity and memory.”
Evidence words: “domestic ware”, “handbuilt”, “installation scale” (any two concrete indicators are fine)
Quick check: Is your claim a single sentence, not a paragraph?
