Metals Project / Bookmark
The first project of the 2nd trimester for the 8th grade students was a Metals Project. Students pierced, cut, filed and sanded negative spaces in their metal to created the desired design. The idea for this project was for the students to determine how they could use negative and positive space to help create details for their Metals Bookmark project.
Student began the project by creating 6 different 3 X 3 ideas using the photo manipulation program, Corel Photo-Paint. They then had to decide where negative shapes would be in order to create detail within their specific design. Next each student was given 8 jeweler's saw blades and a saw frame to begin their project.
Finally, the students used files to 'clean up' any over-cuts and rough spots that were created from their sawing. Students were also instructed to sand their project when the filing was completed.
Here are a couple examples of the 8th grade work this year:
