Walkersville High – Jewelry and Small Sculpture 4

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

Available only at LHS, OHS, and UHS. Students design and produce a variety of fine art jewelry, decorative jewelry, and small sculptures using many different media (including, but not limited to, clay, plaster, metal, wood, and mixed media). They create a process portfolio (a collection of finished artworks, self-evaluations, idea sketches, handouts, notes, and critiques). They study the history of jewelry and small sculpture, the elements and principles of design, critiquing, and aesthetics. Students learn how to use additive, subtractive, and casting processes in creating individual works of art. Some emphasis is on business applications, such as jewelry repair. In Jewelry and Small Sculpture 2, 3, and 4, students work on increasingly more individual and independent projects in all phases of the design and execution of jewelry and/or small sculptural pieces, resulting in a varied and complex collection of art projects to be maintained in the art portfolio.
