In art history, ceramics and ceramic art mean art objects such as figures, tiles, and tableware made from clay and other raw materials by the process of pottery, so excluding glass and also mosaic, normally made from glass tesserae. Some ceramic products are regarded as fine art, while others are regarded as decorative, industrial or applied art objects, or as artifacts in archaeology. They may be made by one individual or in a factory where a group of people design, make and decorate the ware. Decorative ceramics are sometimes called "art pottery". [1]The word "ceramics" comes from the Greek keramikos (?e?aµ????), meaning "pottery", which in turn comes from keramos (?e?aµ??), meaning "potter's clay." [2] Most traditional ceramic products were made from clay (or clay mixed with other materials), shaped and subjected to heat, and tableware and decorative ceramics are generally still made like that. In modern ceramic engineering usage, ceramics is the art and science of making objects from inorganic, non-metallic materials by the action of heat. There is a very long history of ceramic art in almost all developed cultures, and often ceramic objects are all the artistic evidence left from vanished cultures, like that of the Nok in Africa over 2,000 years ago. Cultures especially noted for fine ceramics include the Chinese, Cretan, Greek, Persian, Mayan, Japanese, Dominican, and Korean cultures, as well as the modern Western cultures. Elements of ceramic art, upon which different degrees of emphasis have been placed at different times, are the shape of the object, its decoration by painting, carving and other methods, and the glazing found on most ceramics.

2. The Ceramics Art Gallery-An exhibition on Ceramic
November 11, 2009
A piece of ceramic stems from the traditional art of pottery, where a potter brings an invisible form trapped in clay, back to life. Ceramic art forms are created by molding clay and water into different shapes by the process of pottery prior to being subjected to heat. The history of ceramic objects can be traced back to the ancient civilizations that left behind artistic evidences as spoils of war, buried under the earth as remnants of their existence. Ceramic art is a remarkable art form that has stood the test of time by adapting to the changing times. It also commands a great deal of ... (read more)
