1. Sketching
2. Descriptive geometry
3. Mixed illustration techniques
Requirements: Jewellery Design I is advised.
This course will include the study of the individual components of a jewellery piece and analysis of issues related to designing a jewellery collection. Students will also be trained in real-life situations; how to deal with customers from creating a design to its final presentation.
The ultimate goal is to design an object with elaborate graphics that allow the analysis of form and function before moving on to the final process.
