What you’ll be able to do

  • Continue to develop creative concepts in metal objects while putting into practice an understanding of the formal elements and principles of art in creation.

  • Continue to develop ideas through sketching and model making, plan projects out using a variety of approaches, and respond to the unexpected in the making process.

  • Develop new skills in metals fabrication - using the hydraulic press, different finishes and color treatments, chasing and repoussé, hollow box construction, hinges, stone setting, wire weaving, and electroforming to accomplish designs in metal and related material.

  • Continue to learn the tools and vernacular of a metals studio, while understanding relevant health and safety issues when working with metals and related material.

  • Understand historical and contemporary influences as they relate to the individual and culture in developing designs in the metal arts, including using local and visiting artisans as models for imagining potential future paths.

  • Engage in the evaluation and assessment of projects both individually and in a group setting via the critique process and develop critical responses to your work and the work of others, therefore being a part of formulating a metals studio community.
