Designing and evaluating ideas for silver jewellery project
Work Samples for this Activity
In aligning each work sample for this activity to a particular grade, a professional judgement has been made that a student whose performance, on balance, matches the description for that grade, would typically produce work at that standard.
Description of activity
Students sketch three jewellery design ideas for silver jewellery and complete a PMI evaluation of each idea. Students then select and justify one design idea.
Context
