So my little foundations kids are all grown up and making jewelry! They are making a metal pendent where they are required to practice their skills in sawing with a jeweler's saw, solder with an acetylene torch, use files, and polishing using tripoli and rouge! We started with paper models that students rubber cemented onto the metal of their choice. Now we've been doing lots and lots of sawing and filing. I pretty much have a continual headache from all the noise. But we should be done soon, my hope is the first group of students will be ready to solder tomorrow or Thursday! For now take a look at some of our projects as we start...
Also, students in my foundations class turn in two sketchbook assignments a quarter. This last one, had some particularly cool results. Their assignment was to illustrate their favorite (school-appropriate) song lyrics. Below are some awesome examples of the interesting work students completed.
