METALSMITHING - 2.5 credits (Grades 9-12)

In this course, students explore traditional metalsmithing techniques such as stamping, cutting, and forging with metals such as nickel, brass, and copper. Students will practice visual communication of ideas in 3-dimensions. Projects promote in-depth experiences, self-evaluation, and creative problem-solving, as well as many other 21st century skills. Research and writing assignments provide opportunities for the investigation of ideas and self-reflection. Quality artwork of past and contemporary artists will be studied for appreciation and reference.
