St. Cloud State University. Studio Art. Studio art is made of art and studio, and the term has several implications depending on the context used. The term encompasses all art forms, be they performing or visual. Definition[edit] Studio art in one sense refers to the artwork that is created in the workplace of the artist; in contrast to art work created while attending a university, or other place of learning, in an art gallery, or within artists cooperative are some examples.

Amongst academic disciplines, studio art is the making of visual art (such as painting, drawing or sculpture), contrasted to the study of art history. Studio art also can refer to an actual piece of artwork (paintings, sculpture, multi-media, drawings, prints, etc.) that have been purchased, borrowed, viewed or loaned from the artist out of his physical studio. This holds true only if the “studio” is a space used solely for the creation of artwork by the artist.

Artists[edit] Course[edit] Major[edit] Ceramics. PHYLLIS SAVAGE, CERAMIC ARTIST - WOOD FIRE. Nothing compares to the richness of wood fired ceramics. The process of wood firing is extremely active, uncontrolled and unpredictable. The results are dramatically affected by infinite variables. The type of kiln, wood species, ash, humidity, ambient temperature, air pressure, rate of heat rise, draft, oxygen levels, clay composition, kiln loading and firing duration all impact the outcome. The non-stop loading of the kiln and direct exposure to the intense heat of the flame is exhilarating and exhausting. The interaction of the clay and wood ash creates wonderful surface colors, textures and patinas which eliminate the need for glazes. Phyllis Savage experienced her first wood firings at Alfred University and in Shigaraki, Japan. Design. Atheism. Music. Black Swan.
