This course is an in-depth exploration of color as surface and substance in the realm of jewelry design. Students will learn traditional, modern, and experimental techniques while engaged in a dialog centered on the conceptual impact of color in cultural contexts. Our investigations will utilize surface in support and opposition to the materiality of the objects. Works created in response to assignments are expected to meet technical guidelines while representing students' personal interest and demonstrating an experimental mindset.

Students are pre-registered for this course by the department. Enrollment is limited to Junior Jewelry + Metalsmithing Students.

Major Requirement | BFA Jewelry + Metalsmithing

In this seminar we will investigate and promote the role of writing in an artistic practice via reading, discussion, exercises, and written assignments. A directed effort to source text from both within and outside the field will be implemented as we move beyond curiosity and take residence in the realm of responsible thinking. Paramount in our objective is the engendering of personal expressions of criticality while fostering the confidence to implement them in writing, conversation, and presentation.

Students are pre-registered for this course by the department; registration is not available in Workday. Enrollment is limited to Junior Jewelry + Metalsmithing Students.
