Jewellery Design Course For Young People Integrating STEAM Education: An Innovative Combination Of Traditional Craftsmanship And Modern Educational Methods

Abstract

With the continuous development and improvement of China's academic and educational system, we have a deeper understanding of the close connection between craft culture and social life. Jewelry has gone beyond the simple function of decoration and has become a carrier of traditional culture. This paper presents an innovative educational approach that combines jewelry design courses for teenagers with modern STEAM educational concepts. Creative STEAM learning activities are designed using China's deep traditional crafts and cultural resources. These activities aim to cultivate students' engineering thinking and technical literacy, while also focusing on enhancing their artistic creation and aesthetic abilities. The course design covers multiple aspects of visual art, including appreciation, drawing and design, and encourages students to draw artistic inspiration from daily life to stimulate their creativity and imagination. It should be made clear, however, that the goal is not to cultivate professional artisans, but to enhance the social interaction among students through design expression, so as to comprehensively improve their artistic cultivation and comprehensive quality.
