Warm Up- Write down the vocabulary words in your notes.

Vocabulary-

rivet- A metal bolt or pin having a head on one end, inserted through aligned holes in the pieces to be joined and then hammered on the plain end so as to form a second head.

found object- A natural or manufactured object that is 'found' by the artist and displayed as art or combined with other elements in a work of art.

patina- As a general term, patina refers to the change in an object's surface resulting from natural aging. In copper or bronze jewelry or sculpture, patina specifically refers to the surface of the metal itself often altered by the artist by application of chemicals.
We will use three for this project, heat patina, green patina, and liver of sulfur patina.

Learning Objective- I- You will be able to create your choice of jewelry using textural techniques on metal, found objects, and rivets to combine metals and objects for a unified jewelry design.

Language Objective- Write down the definition of rivet and found-object,and look at examples to support your design ideas for this project.

Agenda-

Look at examples
Today plan your ideas by brainstorming found objects using TerraForma Cards. You will need to pick an object that can be drilled through. Glass or stone will not work. Plastic or metal will.
If you know your object, think about how you can repeat or reflect the found object in the design of the whole piece.
Complete your two waxes for a grade

Sprue them with a partner or two and fill out the Cast Check List

Homework- Bring in a found object that you can design a piece of jewelry around.
