ABSTRACT

This article describes a ceramic arts research project that provided children with opportunities for meaning making using bone china clay, a medium with strong cultural and historical links to the city where the research took place. The children were positioned as artists and their work was curated and presented for exhibition by an international ceramic artist, affording equal status to their work as that of adults. Findings identified that children made meaning based on lived experiences, popular culture, unique family and cultural heritage, and school identities. We also acknowledge that adult attitudes and school schedules can both enable and limit children’s creativity. We further assert that the professional exhibition validated children’s processes, competence, cultural funds of knowledge and agency.

通过陶瓷艺术项目和展览将儿童定位为艺术家:儿童意味着创造

摘要

本文介绍了一项陶瓷艺术研究项目,该项目为儿童提供了利用骨瓷黏土制作有意义的机会的方法,这种骨瓷与研究所在城市之间有着深厚的文化和历史渊源。这些孩子被定位为艺术家,他们的作品由国际陶瓷艺术家策展并展出,与成人作品享有同等地位。调查结果表明,儿童是根据生活经历,流行文化,独特的家庭和文化遗产以及学校身份来表达自己的意思的。我们也承认,成年人的态度和上课时间既可以促进也可以限制儿童的创造力。我们进一步断言,这次专业展览证实了孩子们的过程,能力,知识和代理的文化资金。
