During Wellesley Middle school years, 8th grade students are given the choice of several electives within the visual art dept.\u00a0 This allows students interested in art to choose a specific art material they would like to concentrate on.\u00a0 For Jewelry\/Metals students, they will be challenged to explore further with metal as their primary art material.\u00a0 Students will learn how best to construct the material with both hot and cold connections fabrication.\u00a0 Students are introduced to a wide range of hand tools and basic equipment to manipulate various non-ferrous metals.\u00a0 Students work with both sheet and wire to experiment and explore their creativity within a jewelry or small scale sculpture format of their choice. \u00a0 By the end of the course, students will have a strong foundation of elements and principles of art within a 3D format to bring to the next level if they so choose to continue their studies of visual art at the high school level.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
