Certificate of Achievement - Applied Design: 3D Materials and Processes

The Applied Design: 3D Materials and Processes Certificate of Achievement encompasses the fundamental skills needed for three dimensional materials and processes in Art. The certificate is designed to successfully prepare students to apply aesthetic principles and technical skills to wood, metal, clay and paper/fiber for the construction of functional objects. It encompasses the breadth of design, content and production through essential skills such as fabrication, forming, casting, material study, and techniques of creative problem solving. It also builds an initial Applied Design portfolio for transfer to 4 year programs. There are no material fees in the courses associated with this program, however students will be expected to purchase their own metal and supplies.

Program SLO(s):

1. Demonstrate knowledge of processes and design skillsets related to applied design.

The department expects 10 students to complete each year.

There are no requested faculty or facilities for this program, as the courses exists entirely already. The program serves to meet the labor market and educational needs of students and professionals seeking employment and self-employment in the jewelry industry. Our program is vetted by an annual Advisory Board comprising experts in the field of jewelry manufacturing, private ateliers, independent studio artists and other local communities, which allow us to tap into the needs of Long Beach community labor force, and align our Jewelry Entrepreneurship Program courses with the needs of the field.
