First project

(first year assignment)
wear· ble
ˈwerəb(ə)l/

adjective
1.(especially of clothing) easy to wear; suitable for wearing.
"the simple tailoring make this a stylish and infinitely wearable collection"

noun
1. An item that can be worn.
"one of the industry's leading manufacturers of fashion-forward wearables"

For this first assignment I would like you to make ten wearable pieces that do not fall within the “normal” categories of jewelry (rings, bracelets, brooches, necklaces). Think about wearability, material, and context. I expect finished pieces AND documented research to be presented on the due date.

As part of your presentation to the class your documented research should include images of unconventional wearable work. Your powerpoint should include images, drawings, models, work in context etc.  Please have around 15 to 20 slides ready to show.  Please try to develop a method of research that you will continue to use during the remainder of the semester.

I will talk with all of you individually on September 15th and expect for you to have ideas ready. Please bring images or samples of work you applied with to RISD.
