T$is is t$e &st lesson o- ! pro4ected lessons 56er6ie3 o- t$e Lesson Students will be introduced to jewelry making in the form of several different wire wrapped techniques, terms, and tools. Students will then be tested on what prior knowledge they may or may not have to establish how many instructor based demos will be required throughout this unit. Students will be asked to design and later create a unique, wearable, and aesthetically pleasing piece of jewelry.

Rationale Jewelry making provides students with production skills that focus on and reinforce previously learned formal elements, principles, and foundations of art (i.e. balance, unity, line, color, shape, craftsmanship, & etc. !lternate forms of jewelry creation can provide historical conte"t for lessons and the pieces created are often functional. Student Per-ormance 5b4ect: #. Students will be able to define several vocabulary words associated with jewelry making and more specifically in terms of wire wrapped jewelry. $. Students will be able to create a piece of jewelry using a variety of wrapping techniques. %. Students will be able to create a work of jewelry focused on the foundations of art. &.
