ARAD 4321 - Metal Hollowware & Color

Threes credit hours.

This course will build upon the technical and conceptual foundation created in ARAD 4320. Within this course students will be introduced to various sheet forming techniques and finishing processes in the production of small-scale formed elements for jewelry, vessel forms, and small-scale sculptural objects derived from forming processes. Forming techniques covered in this class will consider direct methods of shaping flat sheet and techniques forming various seamed pieces. Investigation into the coloring techniques including patination and enameling will be considered as methods of embellishment for the forms created by the students. Continued critical discussion and increased technical rigor of this course will help students to gain a more comprehensive ability to conceive their ideas and effectively execute them.

Prerequisites: ARAD 4320.
