1st and 2nd Art Noveau- Patterned Jewelry

For our decorative jewelry project, we studied broaches, hair clips, and necklaces from the Art Noveau period. We discovered that one way the artists created such beautiful jewelry was to repeat patterns throughout the pieces. We made a list of the several different ways pattern can be made: numbers, shapes, letters, sizes, colors, objects. Then, we designed our own jewelry to include at least three different types of patterning. Our necklace pendants were cut from clay using cookie cutters. Then we painted the clay with our base color and added our patterns with marker. We looked quite flashy once we finished our pieces and could wear them!
