Objectives and Course Description A wide variety of materials (metal, wood, textiles, clay, plaster, stone, and found/recycled objects) may be utilized in the fabrication of three- dimensional wearable and non-wearable ornamental objects. This course will employ additive, subtractive, and experimental construction processes. Emphasis will be placed on the study of sculptural art objects, both past and present.   Standard 1: Apply media, processes, and techniques with sufficient skill in order to convey an idea.   Standard 2: Use knowledge of the elements of art and the principles of design.   Standard 3: Critically appraise a work of art including: subject, label information, analysis of the elements

& principles, interpretation, and evaluation.   Standard 4: Identify the function and explore the meaning of specific art objects within varied cultures,

times, and places.   Standard 5: Use appropriate terminology to assess and analyze the composition and content of their own

work and the work of others   Standard 6: Make connections between visual arts and other disciplines.

4 Pins Project Objective- Create 4 functioning pins

that are unified by a theme. Students will learn shape vocabulary. Look at examples:

Which one is the best and why?

Which one of these would you buy and why?

Which one would receive the best grade?

Identify the organic shapes.

Look through magazines, sketch some ideas, come up with an idea/theme.

When you have shown the teacher your sketches, draw out your shapes/layers

How to use a jeweler's saw Use a jeweler’s saw, scissors, or X-

acto to cut out your shapes. Start wrapping shapes with tissue paper, newspaper, or magazines.

Annealing- a heat treatment wherein a material is altered, causing changes in its properties such as hardness and ductility. It is a process that produces conditions by heating to above the critical temperature, maintaining a suitable temperature, and then cooling. Annealing is used to induce ductility, soften material, relieve internal stresses, refine the structure by making it homogeneous, and improve cold working properties.

Demo-texture and stamping

Sept. 21 After filing, you need to finish it using

emery paper (not sand paper) You must put your project and the emery

paper in water and use small circles to finish it and smooth.

Work from coarse grit (280) to fine grit (400).

Wrap the emery paper around your fingers.

For a super shiny finish, after using emery paper, use the buffer and rouge.

Patina-On metal, patina is a coating of various chemical compounds such as oxides, carbonates, sulfides, or sulfates formed on the surface during exposure to atmospheric elements (oxygen, rain, acid rain, carbon dioxide, sulfur-bearing compounds). Patina also refers to accumulated changes in surface texture and colour that result from normal use of an object such as a coin or a piece of furniture over time.[

The process of oxidation is a very natural one, and can be observed in any copper material which has been exposed to excessive amounts of water and other moisture. Pennies which have been left in water slowly start to turn the same shade of green which is observed in the Statue of Liberty. The technical term for the shade of green of the statue is called verdigris. This is the term that is used when any copper which has been exposed to the elements begins to oxidize and forms the green coating which is so very familiar on Lady Liberty.

Sept. 24 For a patina, you may heat with the

torch or add chemical patina. To remove heat marks or chemical, use the pickel.

Project due at the end of class Tuesday.

Rio Grande Patina video

Sept. 25 Demo: Printing screen or lace texture 1. You will need to anneal the metal you are printing on- clean

it and sand it if needed. 2. Adhere the "texture" to the with rubber cement, let it dry. 3. Sandwich this between two harder pieces of metal. Set the

machine so you can hardly push this sandwich through between the rollers.

4. Roll the sandwich through.

Artists’ Statement

Oct. 16 College Readiness Presentation, Thursday, October 25 during seminar, in

the library. Presentation by two KU librarians emphasizes the research expectations of college faculty and staff (not just KU). It should offer great information for those attending. We will have seating limitations of 100. Students may begin signing up now.

 

Class Critique with Artists’ Statement Questions: For how many of you was the art more about choosing the

objects and the objects themselves more important than the finished piece?

How many of you just wanted to make something ‘pretty’? Did creating this object change you in any way?

conceptual art- n. started in the mid 1950’s, art in which the idea behind a particular work, and the means of producing it, are more important than the finished work

Then, display work with the artists’ statement

From the mid-1960s through the mid-1970s Conceptual artists produced works and writings that completely rejected standard ideas of art. Their chief claim - that the articulation of an artistic idea suffices as a work of art - implied that concerns such as aesthetics, expression, skill and marketability were all irrelevant standards by which art was usually judged. So drastically simplified, it might seem to many people that what passes for Conceptual art is not in fact "art" at all, much as Jackson Pollock's "drip" paintings, or Andy Warhol's Brillo Boxes (1964), seemed to contradict what previously had passed for art.

Definitions Annealing- a heat treatment wherein a material is

altered, causing changes in its properties such as hardness and ductility. It is a process that produces conditions by heating to above the critical temperature, maintaining a suitable temperature, and then cooling. Annealing is used to induce ductility, soften material, relieve internal stresses, refine the structure by making it homogeneous, and improve cold working properties.

Soldering- a process in which two or more metal items are joined together by melting and flowing a filler metal (solder) into the joint, the filler metal having a lower melting point than the work piece.

Annealing and soldering safety is posted

Annealing and Soldering Equipment

pumice

annealing pan

copper tongs Flux

pickle

The purpose of flux is to facilitate the soldering process. The obstacle to a successful solder joint is an impurity at the site of the union, e.g. dirt, oils or oxidation. The impurities can be removed by mechanical cleaning or by chemical means, but the elevated temperatures required to melt the filler metal (the solder) encourages the work piece (and the solder) to re-oxidize.

Jewelry/enameling kiln- fires in minutes to 2000°

Flexible Shaft - this flexible shaft machine is perfect for cleaning, polishing, sanding, drilling and much more. Fully interchangeable unit. Variable speeds up to 22,000RPM.

Soldering Torch

Gas

Hard Solder There is easy, medium and hard

solder. They differ in the melting temperature. We use hard solder. Put flux on both pieces first, then place the solder on with the brush.

Third Hand and Steel Tweezers The third hand is used for holding rings or

things that might need to stand up while soldering. Use the tweezers for adjusting metal while soldering and picking up hot metal and putting it in the water for quenching.(quench - cool (hot metal) by plunging into cold water.)

Nov. 12-Cloisenne cloisonné    (Concise Encyclopedia) Enameling technique. Delicate strips of gold, brass, silver,

copper, or other metal wire are welded to a metal plate in the shape of a design, and the resulting cellular spaces are filled with vitreous enamel paste that is fired, ground smooth, and polished. The earliest surviving examples are six 13th-century BC Mycenaean rings. The technique reached its peak in the West during the Byzantine Empire. Chinese cloisonné was widely produced during the Ming and Qing dynasties; in Japan it was popular in the Edo and Meiji periods. See also enamelwork.

Tip of a Pointer, late 11th–first half of 12th centuryByzantine (Constantinople)Cloisonné enamel, gold H. 1 in. (2.5 cm)Purchase, Louis V. Bell Fund and Henry G. Keasbey Bequest, 1997 (1997.235)

On view: Gallery 303   Last Updated October 24, 2012 Pointers were used to assist speakers during the public

reading of a manuscript. This delicately wrought and finely detailed tip of a pointer—or, less likely, a scepter—is an outstanding example of cloisonné enameling. Intimate in scale, it is entirely covered in elaborate foliate and geometric designs predominantly worked in white, red, and translucent blue enamels. Ladderlike strips of cloisons in translucent green enamel separate the decorative patterns on the sides and hide the angles of the hexagonal form. The top is a flat dome; the base is finished with alternating lobes and semicircles. The enameled patterns are similar to designs found in Byzantine manuscript illuminations of the period. The refined decoration and outstanding craftsmanship seen on this tiny masterpiece suggest that it is one of a small group of works associated with the imperial capital of Constantinople and possibly made for the royal court.

Saw out your shape with a jewelers saw.

Then file the edges

Cloisenne Process 1. draw a design 2. cut out design on paper 3. rubber cement design to 16 gauge copper sheet metal 4. use jewelers saw to cut the shape or the blue shearers 5. use a file to file the edges 6. drill a hole if it will be a pendant, earrings, or ornament 7. get some precut bezel 8. harden the bezel with a burnisher or a marker 9. bend the bezel to fit the shapes on your design –make sure that the ends of the bezel meet

with no overlaps or gaps 10. put the cut and shaped pieces of bezel aside and return unused bezel 11. remove the paper design from the front 12. paint the front of your copper with Scalex Thompson Enamel, then blow dry on a cool setting 13. flip over, then on the back, tap and dust counter enamel (hash) 14. place it on a screen to go into the kiln. Teacher will put it in the 1400-1500 degree kiln for

approx. 1-2 minutes until it’s glossy and smooth 15. let cool 16. flip to the front side and pop off the Scalex 17. at the counter near the kiln, on the tripod, arrange the bezel on your copper 18. dust the silver flux over a clean sheet of paper, 1/3 of the way up to the top of the bezel 19. teacher will put it back in the kiln until it’s glossy and smooth 20. take your design and make a key with the numbers and colors and where they go on your

cloisenne Cloisenne Projects due Today!

Cloisenne Process cont. 21. Mix your first color with distilled water and swirl. 22. Let the glass settle to the bottom for a few minutes, then dump out

only the water onto a paper towel leaving a wet glass dust mixture. 23. Using a small wire metal spoon, scoop the first color into the desired

bezel shape so it is a smooth coverage. Then wick away the extra water with the corner of a paper towel.

24. wash the spoon with water before dipping into another color 25. repeat with the other shapes and colors 26. fire it in the kiln at about 1500 degrees 27. repeat this process with more glass and more firings 3 or 4 times

until you cannot feel the bezel when you run your hand across the top. 28. use a yellow block sander under running water to sand the top of the

cloisenne until it is all frosty. Cut off any extra bezel off the sides with scissors.

29. then refire to make it glossy again.Due Today!-someone ask me about t-shirts
