Course descriptionTHIS IS A FOR-CREDIT ONLY COURSE OFFERED BY THE OFFICE OF LIFELONG LEARNING (OLL); ONLY STUDENTS REGISTERED WITH OLL SHOULD BE ENROLLED
Almost no material is out of bounds for contemporary jewellery, which can be hugely inventive and imaginative. In this course, students will experiment with non-traditional tools and materials such as beads, fabrics and found objects to deploy new techniques such as assemblage and construction to design pieces of jewellery. This course will introduce the uses of basic macrame and knotting techniques, laminating plastic and incorporating textiles and found objects to make a series of tests and samples leading to more independent and personal developed pieces supported by research and contextual awareness.

1. By the end of the course, through attending classes and engaging in directed and independent study, students should be able to:
RESEARCH
Research and develop ways of collecting and manipulating non-precious materials which can be transformed and designed into jewellery items


2. PRACTICE
Develop jewellery techniques including using a range of tools and materials to design and make a series of considered jewellery pieces


3. PRESENT
Select, edit and present a coherent body of sketches, tests, samples and resolved jewellery works which demonstrate an informed and individual response to working with non-precious materials and techniques.
Assessment Information
The course will be assessed by the submission of a portfolio of visual design works and supporting materials within the discipline studied. This will include a selection of resolved design works, preparatory studies, visual research and evidence of a contextual awareness through a completed sketchbook and/or visual journal. The work must be presented in a clear and professional manner appropriate to the discipline. The submission should include work undertaken within the class as well as directed and independent study out with the class.

Typically, this will comprise:
Class Contact hours: 27.5 (work students do during the class)
Directed hours: 27.5 (work the tutor has set students to do after the class teaching is complete)
Independent Study Hours: 45 (work students set themselves to do, relevant to the discipline studied)

The combined submission will be assessed against the three learning outcomes for this course. These are equally weighted and each will be given a percentage grade. To pass, students must achieve a minimum of 30% in each learning outcome and an overall combined mark of 40% minimum.
