Fiber & Jewelry Design 1
Jewelry Rubric
Final Quarterly Assessment
Mrs. Logue
Your assignment is to create a wearable piece of jewelry using the applique method to reflect the central theme of your written piece. The jewelry will incorporate several design concepts that have been used throughout the course, such as compositional movement, positive/negative space, unity, organic shape, emphasis & contrast. The jewelry design will be created by sawing your shapes out from sheets of copper, brass and/or silver. The metal will soldered together using a propane soldering torch. You will have 8 weeks from the planning to the completion of the product to finish this assignment. This requires you to manage your time appropriately, as well as maintain excellent craftsmanship. Remember that craftsmanship is just as important as successfully utilizing the design concepts. You will be graded on the following requirements & criteria. All pieces of criteria are worth the same amount of points.
