Designing non-objective jewelry offers an artist great freedom and unlimited possibilities. This process includes deciding the intent of the piece, selection of materials to be used and the manufacturing process. Tooling foil, wire, paint, glue and gems are used by the students to express their own original ideas in a jewelry design.

Spanish Surrealist Joan Miro (1893-1983), was an artist whose work was considered some of the most original of the 20th century. His paintings often have a whimsical quality, filled with magical shapes, stars, spots and curlicues painted in bright colors against a neutral background. Using tempera paint, oil pastels and paper, students create a painting in the style of Miro.

For nearly thousand years this was the traditional dress of the Japanese people. Though the kimono was a simply made garment, it gained novelty and distinction from the designs they were decorated with. Paper, colored pencils and watercolors are used by the students to create their own unique kimono design.

Spanish architect Antoni Gaudi (1856-1926) is one of the most admired architect of the
20th century. His playful fantastical building encompass fluidly of form, with organic
and abstract shapes, often using mosaic tiling to create arabesque decoration inspired by
his style., students will make a building molding their fantasies into works of clay decorated
with tiles and stones.
A special thank you to all the parents, grandparents,
families and friends for their assistance.
