Abstract

Ceramic art has been an important part of human culture for thousands of years and it has had a significant influence all over the world. China is the home country of ceramics and the progression of ceramic culture has contributed much to the development of human history and civilisation. Education has played a key role in this progression of ceramic art and through ceramics education, the ceramic culture, ceramic arts and the crafts of ceramics, ceramic skills have been passed down from one generation to the next. Ceramics education is an important part of art education. Faced with the globalisation of culture and economics, Chinese ceramic art education and global ceramic art education have a mutual influence on each other and are closely linked together. Therefore, achieving perfection and development in the ceramics education in Chinese universities, specifically in ceramics teaching, is important. In the long term, training students that have creative abilities will influence the current status and the future of ceramics education in China. Today, in China, ceramics are classified as either ‘handwork’ or ‘industrial arts’, focusing on production-oriented requirements like practicality, aesthetic appearance and economy. Ceramics teaching has been restricted by this traditional thinking as it conforms to existing stereotypes. Lacking an interactive paradigm that is open to change, the ceramics teaching in China attaches great importance to the mere training of skills. By analysing the current situation of ceramics education in colleges and universities in China, this paper discusses how to use creative teaching methods to guide students' learning consciousness, improve learning motivation and develop students' creativity from the perspectives of creative teaching and teaching creativity. This is to provide enlightening reflections on the cultivation of students' creativity in ceramics education in colleges and universities.
