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.
