Prompt: In this project, students will craft a unique mini-collection of jewelry or a wearable accessory by drawing inspiration from iconic architectural landmarks and structures using the 3D design principles and elements.

For this project, I took inspiration from the design of traditional Chinese windows. During my research process, I was intrigued by the fact that the windows were not only popular because of their aesthetics, but also because of the balance and harmony that they represent. When integrating these designs into my jewelries, I decided to make these designs into repetitive patterns that can work together to create something new.

Parsons School of Design has offered students innovative approaches to education since its founding in 1896. Today we’re the only American art and design school within a comprehensive university, The New School, which also houses a rigorous liberal arts college and a progressive performing arts school. Our undergraduate and graduate programs, offered through Parsons’ five schools, immerse students in focused training, interdisciplinary inquiry, and practice-based collaborative learning. Here creators and scholars master established art and design fields and advance emerging ones while studying a range of university disciplines.
