ARAD 4323 - Metal Mechanisms

Three credit hours.

This course will include a more extensive exploration of complex fabrication methods and development of mechanisms to be integrated into jewelry and metal objects derived from fabrication, forming, and casting techniques. Students will explore methods of hollow construction, mechanisms, and complex surface embellishments. Technical proficiency will be reinforced, as the projects in this course require more precise design and complex construction. A conceptual basis for the assignments in this course will require students to gain an awareness of thoughtfully integrating form, function and aesthetics as they give their ideas physical form.

Prerequisites: ARAD 4321.
