I got ceramic in my schedule and i was wondering what do you do there? and is it fun?
Well, I didn't take ceramics until junior college, but--yes--it can be fun. Every high school does things differently, so I can't tell you for sure exactly what your class will be like. You will probably do both hand building and work on the potters' wheel. Maybe you will mix your own glazes from chemicals, but you will probably use pre-mixed glazes from jars. Probably the teacher, or the teacher's aide, will do the actual firing (in the kiln--a really hot oven that goes over 2000 degrees F) for you, but in some classes they teach students how to load and run the kilns. In order to have the most fun with the class, do the regular assignments, but also think ahead about what kinds of things that you'd like to make, and then ask the teacher to give you pointers on how to make whatever it is that you have in mind.
