ART 259 — ART259 Jewelrymaking/Metalsmithing III
Third-term students build on the skills acquired in the two preceding terms and are allowed more latitude in project selections, which incorporate several required advanced metalsmithing techniques. Students implement strategies in transferring applied design elements, manipulating tools and fabricating materials to help develop an insight on the process in order to successfully complete select areas of study. Students discuss and critique each other's work and discuss basic aesthetics of art metal design and construction, thus expanding the student's perception of themselves within a historical as well as contemporary context.
