Abstract
The materiality of ceramics has emerged as a new frontier in the academic discourse because of its versatility in both traditional and modern use. Clay has been known for its resistance to corrosion and environmental conditions, and their ability to withstand high temperatures accounts for reasons why it became a point of reference for archeological research and in the study of the history of human evolution and civilization across time. The subject of the research is to determine the complex relationship existing amongst ceramics, art, and culture. It further discusses the means through which ceramics can be used via history to reflect cultural values and traditions. Additionally, the paper explores the emergence of contemporary artists and how they have used ceramics to interrogate established cultural norms by pushing boundaries with fresh perspectives and practices while simultaneously creating new meanings and interpretations. It also investigates the complex relationship amongst the three elements mentioned earlier and how these elements have contributed to the evolution of the world's art. Historical analysis and case study research was used in unfolding the intricacy of ceramics as a discipline and how it has facilitated modern art practice and its relationship with historical studies. Secondary data was effectively used for the research. The research findings show that the method and techniques of ceramics production cut across all world civilizations, and its significance in materiality cannot be over-emphasized.
