GENERAL ASSESSMENT CRITERIA FOR
PROPOSALS FICC
Introduction
Of these strategies (the same ones that are used for the work of expert consultants, attainment of a
specialized bibliography, data-base revisión), it is worth mentioning the
following:
1. International Council for
Education in Ceramics- ( Acronym in spanish: CIEC), will
bring together three professionals in the arts with an international track
record in ceramics, namely: Graciela
Olio, Zandra Miranda and Mayra Lucía Carrillo. This is consolidated as an institution al July 14, 2018 having as founders the last two members.
2. Creation of Activity-based Assessment Formats, which after months in the
making will allow: a. Use of clear
and precise language to foment debate around each of the works, personalities
and/or processes in question. b.Performance of assiduous analysis of the
proposals and c.Facilitation of delivery of results of the assessment process
to participants and in this way foster a permanent process of qualification of
the products and processes in the world of ceramics.
The following are the evaluation criteria that have existed since April 5, 2018.
General
recognition of outstanding personalities and proposals
FICC will use three kinds of visual distinction in its programming to
acknowledge both a lifetime’s dedication to fomenting social, cultural and
educational values via ceramic culture, and the most important works in ceramic.
Due to this there are distinctions for people, and for artworks, products, and projects.
These are as follows:
Distinctions for
people
- Laurel breastplate: Known as the tree of fire, this
plant is linked to the god Apollo, protector of art, music, poetry and wisdom.
It represents victory, glory and personal achievement. The breastplate will be printed in the FICC photos
of each recipient.
- Coloured circle with gold five-pointed star and laurel: The circle is the
symbol of perfection. The star is associated with happiness, greatness, light
and truth and the five-pointed star evokes humanity and alludes to a person who
is able to control or dominate the four elements. These symbols together with
the Laurel breastplate and the colours that the kiln passes through as it heats
to 1100 degrees celcius, are the distintions that will be used in FICC 2018.
They are in recognition of time dedicated to training in and practising the
ceramic craft or other well-loved professión linked to ceramic culture.
The scale of craft or dedication takes into consideration the following time periods, titles
and colour codingr:
-
Between-0 and 3-years: Enthusiast – Rose-Red
-
Between-4 and 9-years: Apprentice – Bright Red Circle
-
Between-10 and 19-years: Journeyman- Orange Circle.
-
Between-20 and 29-years: Master – Yellow Circle
-
More than-30 years: Grand Master
– Whiteish Circle
Proponents enrolled in FICC will
receive their distinction from the CIEC, a verification of their participation
in the process that will be carried out with them during May. If they wish,
ther distinction will be superimposed onto the chest of their FICC profile
image, in the appropriate color, thus:
Persons of any nationality NO
enrolled in FICC may request a review of their curriculum vitae or ask for
information about the CIEC established conditions for this by writing to the
following email address: cieceramica@gmail.

promotions and other relevant changes will be announced (new apprentices,
journeymen, masters and grand masters), but each applicant must make a formal
request for promotion and fulfill the requirements set by the CIEC.
Distinction for outstanding artworks or products
-
Stars: Bearing in mind the symbolic classifications mentioned,
FICC will employ two variants: Violet-Blue Star and Gold Star.
Violet-Blue (a colour that inspires intuition, mystery, magic
and enchantment) will be assigned to works whose qualities draw attention in an
appropriate and significant way to the fundamental values of ceramic culture. (techniques,
materials, communities, history, locality, etc…).
Gold (associated with grand ideals, wisdom and depth of
knowledge) will only be awarded to works or productions that as well as
fulfilling the requirements for the Blue-Violet star, have also been created by
masters or grand masters in ceramic culture.

participants will be informed via the assessment form they receive. The

graphic or identifying material produced by FICC to include them in the the
festival program.
