Interpersonal: relating to relationships or communication between people Intrapersonal: occurring within the individual mind or self This is an advanced Jewelry / Metal Art course that helps students to deepen their understanding of how to find subject matter and personal voice in their work and develop more advanced technical skills (stone setting, advanced soldering, professional finishing, and more). Students will begin the semester with a stone setting workshop. Flush, bead, basic pave, heavy bezel setting, prong setting, and more settings of faceted stones will be taught. Students will engage in the process of making client based work to help them understand how to communicate and follow through with the individual commissioned pieces. Then students will continue self examinations and open sharing by researching and presenting their culture and identities. This will allow them to simultaneously broaden their understanding of themselves and the world(s) around them and begin to use this knowledge to make work. Sustainable practices will be taught throughout the course including recycling metal, learning about the complexities of mining and impact on the environment/indigenous land. This course will count towards the ecological practices minor. Students will be introduced to Verry Basic Rhino and MatrixGold softwares in this course.
