Term Project Choices

For this term, I and my group were introduced to multiple term choices to focus on for 5 weeks. These included……..

British Art Medal Society (B.A.M.S)

This course (as the name suggests) is about researching and making our own medals, which will include learning to bronze cast, the theme can be anything of our choice, and by the end of the five-week term, our medals will be displayed and prizes could be won. It will be a good opportunity to create a small artifact in a new museum.

There will also be a prize for anyone who bases his/her medal(s) on endangered animals

Pewter

This project will involve creating our own unique piece or pieces of high-quality jewelry made out of pewter, (if not entirely, at least 50%) Our pieces will be judged and will be considered for the quality, originality, and suitability for the purpose of marketability of the submission.

St Fagans: Referencing Tradition

This project working with the people at St Fagan’s and assisting a collection through re-interpretation, re-visionining, and making. This will involve choosing an artifact from everyday lives and finding out who owned these pieces and in which ways they contain traces and evidence of there use in use in history.

Liberty Live Brief: Book

This project will involve creating our own book (out of a sheet of A2 paper) which explores this heritage and should be sympathetic to the information and content within. There will also be research involved in stone carved hieroglyphics, handwritten manuscripts on parchment or print on paper.

Craft in the Bay: Curation and Showcase

This project will involve creating a proposal for a themed group show and each student will receive a series of group tutorials that address the themes, needs, and practicalities of curating a show. This course requires good organization, facilitation, and understanding of the contemporary practice and it’ll also require research of contemporary venues, audience participation, digital, pop up and site-specific contexts.

MADE.COM: TALENT LAB

This project will involve designing our own furniture for Talent lab, which his a crowdfunding site that helps raise funds to build your designs.
