In Gold & Silversmithing 5, the project-oriented program extends student technical, material and conceptual skills. At this level students are expected to have gained from previous courses sufficient experience to use hand tools and engineering equipment with some independence. Students devise individual responses to one set theme to develop their ability to apply techniques appropriate to particular concepts. In addition an extensive individual work proposal is developed, applying critical thinking and innovation to a broad range of materials, techniques and concepts. A program of studio theory is undertaken to examine the historical and contemporary contexts of gold and silversmithing. Occupational health and safety instruction is an integral part of this course.
