The Research of Modern Pottery form in Taiwan

[[abstract]]The dissertation is researching for the shape and outlook design of contemporary Taiwan pottery art. The main research is concentrated in the shape and outlook design of pottery because it is a black corner in Taiwan pottery art design field. Overview the works of famous pottery artists, the main works is studying in glaze application and firing development but the shape design of argil is supported by technicians or pottery artists offer the drafts only and even adopted the existed shape. The shape is not only a theorem but also a technology so that we must study the shape of theorem and pay more attentions on practice of shape technology including plane, semi-solid and solid structure. Following reasons also are the barriers to let the pottery artists stop their aspiration in shape technology, 1 .materials 2.tools 3.equipments 4.glaze 5.kiln In the recent years, some homecoming scholarships and local potters in Taiwan establish their personal working room and environment to develop the entertainment pottery creation. At the same time various prizes of pottery exhibitions allure many young and energetic pottery artists to join and present their new works. Although the pottery business is decaying at INGO, other pottery working rooms are vigorous in Taiwan. These small and beautiful pottery classrooms or the factory making earthenware, pottery, tiles, bricks, etc. are ready for tourists. Therefore, the importance of pottery technology and research is showing. . My study is looking forward to offering some experiences in learning, induction, researching, experiment, creation. The preface is to state my research background, motions, goals and by the way to illustrate my methods, flowchart, and the constraints of research. Part 1 is to introduce the pottery and its history especially in Chinese and Taiwan ceramics development and its shape procession Part 2 is to state the classification of pottery shape making and help the artist to think and adjust their ideas. Part 3 is to state how to use the fundamental theorem of painting in pottery shape creation and application to affect the people. Part 4 is to state the properties of Clays for examples firing Behavior, Variables of Firing, Physical and Chemical Changes in Firing, Loss of Volatiles , Changes in the Clay Minerals , Changes in Inclusions and Impurities , Quartz , Feldspar, Calcium, glaze Formation, The Thermal Reaction Sequence, The Fired Product: Stresses and Defects, Some Considerations of Firing Technology Part 5 - Pottery shape Manufacture and Use including Obtaining and Preparing Resources, Tools and Techniques, Forming, Finishing, and Decorating, Surface Enhancement by the way making comments on some Taiwan pottery artists. Part 6 is to illustrate my pottery creation works. Conclusions: The expectation of Taiwan pottery shape development is forwarding to fine pottery art and distinct from China to establish the strong base in the world.
