ABBI'S ART BY LOTTERY:
See our science! Blog
Page I made for the students so they can look further into the things we talked
about & keep asking questions:
I tried to site references for images and research on
the image but sometimes they are in the notes.

MONDAY
|
We discussed the history of Jewelry
across the world. We worked in clay
(ceramic) – which Abbi will be firing for us (*remind them that not
everything survives the kiln, but Abbi does a pretty good job on average). We will work with fibers and making paper
beads.
We also made journals to collect
their designs, ideas, and even just to draw in and take notes while we were
learning about material science.

TUESDAY
|
(*This
is a great time for students to start bringing in things they’d like to turn
into jewelry. – Old jewelry that can
be re-purposed, found objects, whatever.
I will them every time they find a new use for something they would
throw away (plastics in particular = 1 day of good luck).
We will be introduced to metals and
their physical properties. We will
work with metal, more fibers, and found objects.
|
|
WEDNESDAY
|
We will talk about stones, gems,
and see where they come from. We will
talk about polymers and how can we reuse more objects from our everyday life.
|
|
THURSDAY
|
DESIGN! We will work with different
design processes to create new work and mix media together. Students will think about ergonomics: how
well does this jewelry fit and feel comfortable besides just looking good.
|
|
FRIDAY
|
FINAL MAKE DAY. Students will get their ceramics back this
day and have the time to create, and refine their best work and create their
new set of jewelry based on their own personal aesthetics and desires.
