14 courses with the subject METL, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
18 hours CE level continuing studies course Learn to create a one of a kind wearable piece of jewelry through various metalworking techniques including soldering fabrication, cold connections and polishing. You’ll walk away with one or more pieces of finished jewelry. This course may not be audited.
45.0 hours 100 level undergraduate course An introduction to metalwork through several jewelry projects. Students learn basic fabrication techniques through simple hollow construction; movement is approached through aspects of linkage and chain making; forming and fabrication is covered as well. Requires completion of 15 credits This course is not repeatable for credit.
90.0 hours 200 level undergraduate course An exploration of notions of jewelry and body adornment as a means of personal expression. Projects range from precious jewelry making to adornment that extends into performance. Basic goldsmithing skills are taught as essential, while three-dimensional sketching and experimentation in mixed media are encouraged. Successful integration of design, material, and process is the goal. Projects provide students with broad exposure to the many possibilities inherent in jewelry and ornament as related to the human form. This course is not repeatable for credit.
90.0 hours 200 level undergraduate course A continued exploration of notions of jewelry and body adornment as a means of personal expression. This freestanding course also serves as a companion to CRMT 211. Materials addressed will be at a beginning level-more experienced students taking the class will explore the topics in more depth. This course is not repeatable for credit.
90.0 hours 200 level undergraduate course Metal is an extremely versatile material; though hard and durable, it is quite malleable and easily worked. This course covers direct working of metal. Sheet, wire, bar, and rod are given form by hammering, seaming, and bending, etc. The majority of work is done in bronze, brass, and copper, though steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and precious metals may be used, as well. Contemporary issues addressed include the object as sculpture, process as a source material, the importance of surface and detail, and functional objects made by artists. Requires completion of 30 credits. This course may be completed 2 times for credit.
90.0 hours 200 level undergraduate course Wax working for jewelry and small-scale sculpture, rubber molding processes, and lost wax/centrifugal casting of bronze and (optional) sterling silver and karat golds. Extensive technical information for students who are design-oriented. Assignments allow projects in all formats (design, one-of-a-kind jewelry, fine art, etc.) and students are encouraged to use techniques innovatively and expressively. Students taking the course a second time choose one aspect of the course (wax carving, wax modeling, wax impressions, vulcanized rubber molding, etc.) and produce a small body of work investigating that aspect in depth. Procedures for sending out work to professional contract casters are also covered. Requires completion of 30 credits. This course may be completed 2 times for credit.
undefined hours 200 level undergraduate course This course allows for the presentation of one-time, unique studio experiences involving either specialized themes, media, classroom structures, or teaching and learning formats, for the development of projects relevant to contemporary Jewelry/Metals issues. This course may be repeated for credit.
90.0 hours 300 level undergraduate course Builds upon a basic grounding in jewelry concepts and techniques. Lectures, technical demonstrations, and conceptual projects vary from year to year so that students retaking the course will not find it redundant. The goals of the course are to increase awareness and understanding of jewelry as a component of our culture, aid the student in the development of a personal aesthetic, and develop thinking and problem-solving abilities. More experienced students are encouraged to focus on one specialized area of the jewelry field. Prerequisites Take 6 credits from: METL*211, METL*212, or METL*221 This course is not repeatable for credit.
90.0 hours 300 level undergraduate course A continuation of METL*311. In preparation for the senior thesis, students take on increased responsibility for the form and content of their work. Prerequisites Take 6 credits from: METL*211, METL*212, or METL*221. Priority enrollment to Crafts majors. This course is not repeatable for credit.
90.0 hours 300 level undergraduate course This course serves as a companion to CRMT 311. Technical and conceptual material presented dovetails with that presented in CRMT 311. Prerequisites Complete 6 credits from METL*211, METL*212, or METL*221
90.0 hours 400 level undergraduate course In consultation with faculty, students question and refine their interests and begin production of a cohesive body of work for their thesis exhibition. Faculty presentations are complemented by student research and investigation. Prerequisites Complete 6 credits from METL*211, METL*212, or METL*221 This course is not repeatable for credit.
90.0 hours 400 level undergraduate course Production of work for the thesis exhibition continues. In preparation for leaving the academic environment, students complete work for their portfolio. Though development of technical skills continues, the emphasis is on having students articulate their ideas and understand the content of their work. Prerequisites Complete 6 credits from METL*211, METL*212, or METL*221 This course is not repeatable for credit.
90.0 hours 400 level undergraduate course A continuation of CRMT 313. Problems become more complex as students acquire a level of technical mastery appropriate to their ideas. Emphasis is placed on the student’s conceptual development. Prerequisites SOAC*301
undefined hours 400 level undergraduate course Independent Study offers a matriculated student the opportunity to initiate individual research or advanced projects that are beyond the limits of the standard curriculum. This course requires permission by the offering program office. This course may not be audited. This course cannot be taken pass/fail.
