Burlingame High school offers standards based
courses in Ceramics. We study Art History, its interconnections,
and its effects on other disciplines. We look at art and sculpture
from a variety of times, geographies and cultures. Our projects
consist of figurative sculpture, pottery, hand building, and
expressive sculpture. |
