Jewelry Design - Fall Semester - IED Milano

Jewelry is an art that transforms ideas into tangible objects, reflecting historical, cultural, and technological contexts. This educational path covers jewelry artistry, history, techniques, and design, with lessons Monday to Friday mornings and/or afternoons.

The course integrates with the first semester of the Three-year Jewelry Design program, excluding Design Methods and jewelry design classes, which are for semester students. Throughout the semester, lectures alternate with labs that provide technical, cultural, and design skills to foster creativity and identity. The initial section covers art history, movements, and the evolution of jewelry. You will learn traditional drafting techniques for depicting jewelry and the proper design methods (tools, techniques, materials) for prototyping. The course also examines the link between art, fashion, and the changing nature of jewelry and body accessories.

This course targets secondary school graduates, university students, and professionals from other fields seeking a career change. It requires only an intermediate level of English and a high school diploma; no other prerequisites are required.
