Ceramic Spherical Forms as a Medium for Creative Expression through Decal Technique

Abstract

The spherical form is a three-dimensional geometric shape, with all its points equidistant (radius) from a central point, known as the center. This form has long been a rich source of inspiration for ceramic artists, as it offers both functional and aesthetic possibilities. The spherical form allows for multiple interpretations, blending practicality with artistic expression.  This study investigates the aesthetic qualities of the spherical form by creating artworks that emphasize its unique characteristics. The primary objective of the research was to develop a spatial installation featuring spherical shapes, utilizing the artistic potential of decorative patterns applied through the ceramic decal technique.  To achieve this goal, the researchers adopted the )practice-based research( as a method. Through practical experimentation, the researcher successfully created a spatial installation composed of ceramic spherical forms, enhanced with decorative designs using the ceramic decal technique.
