COURSE SYLLABUS 1. TITLE OF COURSE: Jewelry and Metal Work I PREFIX/NUMBER: ART 141 CREDIT HOURS: 3 2. PREREQUISITE: Design II or Approval of Instructor 3. RESOURCES NEEDED: TEXT: NONE SUPPLIES: 1) Jeweler’s saw, 2/0 or 3/0 blades, pliers (side cutters, flat-nose, round nose), ball-peen hammer, ring mandral, and silver (1'-16ga W.Rd, 1'-12ga Rd, 3x4"-20 ga sheet) 2) Jewelry design sketchbook 4. COURSE DESCRIPTION: This course is an introduction to the construction of jewelry designs in metal and small casing techniques. 5. COURSE GOAL: The student will compile a notebook and portfolio of works with a minimum of 8 finished pieces that demonstrate a basic knowledge of jewelry design and an understanding of fabrication techniques, soldering, and finishing. 6. COURSE OBJECTIVES: By the end of the course, students will (A) Design and fabricate a minimum of 8 pieces of jewelry by the end of the semester. (B) Design and cast a minimum of 2 pieces of jewelry by the end of the semester. (C) Understand the use and care of jewelry tools. (D) Learn to evaluate the design and craftsmanship of finished pieces of jewelry. (E) Develop understanding of the use of precious metals and materials in the design and construction of jewelry. 7. EVALUATION PROCEDURES: Jewelry and metal work I is a studio class which emphasizes mastery of the basic jewelry making techniques and media. The class is divided into 8 modules and the final. At the end of each module there will be a mastery evaluation of the technique studied which will be worth 10% of the overall grade. If a student is not satisfied with the grade received on a mastery evaluation, the student may retake that module on his own time during the course of the semester and the higher of the two grades will be accepted. The final will count 20% of the grade and consist of: 1. A display showing all of the students' jewelry made during the semester. 2. The students' jewelry design sketchbook. Grading ScaleRaw Score Range Letter Grade 90 to 100 Exceptional performance in all areas. Work is consistently outstanding and surpasses acceptable guidelines. 80 to 89 B - Good performance standards. Work meets acceptable and frequently surpasses them. 70 to 79 C - Satisfactory performance. Work meets acceptable guidelines. 60 to 69 D - Poor performance, although the work occasionally meets acceptable guidelines. 0 to 59 F - Unacceptable work does not meet guidelines or was not handed in. Special Remarks: 1. Attendance: College policy states that students may be dropped from enrollment when absent 20% of the scheduled class meetings. If enrolled from the beginning of the term, 15 hours will usually constitute 20% of a four-credit semester course which meets five hours per week. Reinstatement procedures are described in the PCC catalog. 2. Tardy Policy: A student who is late three times (enters classroom after the instructor has taken roll) will be charged with one full absence unless the student can provide valid reasons for one or more of these tardies. 3. Assignments/Missed Exams: It is the student's responsibility, whether present or absent, to obtain all material presented and to complete all course assignments. If prior arrangements are made or extenuating circumstances exist, makeup of tests may be allowed. Late homework papers will not be accepted unless those same extenuating circumstances exist. Makeup of quizzes is to be at the instructor's discretion. 8. COURSE OUTLINE 9. METHODS OF INSTRUCTION: To be successful in this course, students are expected to participate in discussions, readings, in-class writing, and peer review activities. The instructor may assign point values to such activities. 10. ACADEMIC INTEGRITY: The very nature of higher education requires that students adhere to accepted standards of academic integrity. Therefore, Pueblo Community College has adopted a policy of academic conduct as described in the Student Handbook. Violation of academic integrity may be defined to include the following: cheating, plagiarism, falsification and fabrication, abuse of academic materials, complicity in academic dishonesty, and personal misrepresentation. It is the student’s responsibility to be aware of the behaviors that constitute academic dishonesty. Sanctions for violating the standards of academic integrity may include warning, probation, suspension, and/or failure of the course or assignment at the discretion of the instructor. 11.
