TECHNICAL DIVERSITY IN THE CERAMICS OF HAIDER RAOUF
Main Article Content
Abstract
The current research titled "Technical Diversity in the Ceramics of Haider Raouf" comprises four chapters. The first chapter addresses the research problem summarized in the question: What is the technical diversity in the products of the ceramist Haider Raouf? This chapter also highlights the importance and need for the research, defines key terms, and states the research objective as identifying the technical diversity in the ceramics of Haider Raouf. Furthermore, it outlines the specific research boundaries by studying the artistic works of the artist within the specified time frame. The second chapter is dedicated to the theoretical framework and key indicators, with three sections focusing on the concept and application of techniques, technical diversity in contemporary Iraqi ceramics, and the artist's biography and artistic experience of the ceramist Haider Raouf. The third chapter includes the research procedures, which involved defining the research population consisting of a group of artistic works by the ceramist, selecting the research sample and method, using descriptive methodology, analyzing the research sample comprising three models. The fourth chapter reviews the results, conclusions, and recommendations. Among the key findings of this research are: 1. The technical diversity is evident in the research sample models through construction methods, as well as firing and glazing techniques. 2. Technical diversity is achieved in the research sample models through color display and its impact on the external form. Key conclusions include expanding the ceramist's artistic experience through the diversity of tools and construction aspects for each cognitive achievement, transforming from one position to another through openness and the mechanisms of analysis and reconstruction of various new cognitive and constructional creative texts. This transformation occurs through continuous research and experimentation in cognitive philosophical systems and aesthetic debates on form, content, and style. The list of sources and references follows the recommendations and proposals.
