Jewelry I

This is a beginning course in the design and fabrication of small three dimensional objects. Emphasis is placed on gaining an understanding of the aesthetic concerns of small scale metal work and the skills and techniques of producing jewelry as art. Students will design and learn processes, while developing sensitivity to techniques and ideas, and producing works that stress craftsmanship. This course is fundamentally an extension of Sculpture and Design in the third dimension in a utilitarian form: the balance between aesthetics and technique.Note: Additional materials beyond those covered by course or lab fees will be required. See course syllabus for a list of materials and approximate cost.
