Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

IB Jewelry I helps students apply advanced processes of artistic expression to the fabrication of small-scale objects and pieces of jewelry, and includes the study, theory, and creation of ornamental design, its media, techniques, and processes. This course helps students develop expressive and technical skills in creating jewelry, using art metals, and exploring design concepts in form and surface decoration. This course requires students to engage in the historical and contemporary view of using art metals and other elements in jewelry design and provides instruction in the critique process. Students participate in critiques of their jewelry and metal works, the jewelry and metal works of others, and those by professional jewelers and gemologists for the purpose of reflecting on and refining work for fulfillment of the International Baccalaureate requirements.
