Description
In this second design course, students learn to work with a single concept and explore the options for expressing this concept through jewellery. Students are encouraged to try different approaches to idea generation and design variation to generate and refine designs for the Diploma Project. Critiques and group discussions help to strengthen their designs and expressions of concept. Students create formal design proposals, outlining detailed plans for the Diploma Project, which are presented to instructors for feedback and approval.
