Next we had a famous archiologist for a professor and he taught us ceramic history. It was great. We have discovered many things from 10,000 years ago through the dynasties. He showed us development of Chinese ceramics. I felt like I was understanding how they made advancements in refining forms, firing techniques, decoration, glazes, from Neolithic times of the folk potters to the exqsuisite Imperial wares. This was incredible information. The pictures were amazing as well. We all learned so much, asked so many questions that were answered eagerly, and even technically. The class is definetly one of the high points for me, but I am a history enthusiast. Oh by the way he couldn't speak a work of English. We had a translator. It worked out perfectly. There were some interesting times, but we were all patient and enlightenment happend. Let's take a look at some of his photos.
