This course starts from the basics and is suitable for people who have no experience on jewelry design. The Jewelry Concept Design course is an innovation in the academic jewelry industry and is being held by MDA for the first time. In this course students will learn jewelry concept design using just a pencil and a piece of paper and will be trained to learn concept design techniques alongside jewelry design. One of the biggest concerns of jewelry designers and 3D modelers comes from the need to come up with new ideas, design and develop a collection and most importantly analyze a concept and develop it. Designing a new ring, depending on its complexity, may take a couple of hours; but designing a collection, developing it and keeping a successful design alive; may take days, months or even years. This course is for those who are interested in concept design and developing an idea. In this course simple and practical ways for concept development will be presented that will help students to improve their mental skills and creativity in order to become a jewelry designer.
In this course we focus on concept and idea development more than rendering and presentation. This is what makes this course different from the traditional drawing courses elsewhere. Moreover, this course will present primary sketching and drawing techniques in a way that can help students convey their ideas to the customer as fast as possible. All these techniques that are presented during this course are the result of several years of research, experiment and experience. You may have encountered some of these techniques before, but here we will instruct them step by step in detail, so you can develop your own ideas more precisely. Traditionally, pen and paper have always been the primary tools for an artist or a designer. No matter where you are, when you come up with an idea a pencil and paper is always the best tool to illustrate your imaginations, this has always been and will be the mainstream in any design industry.
This is why in this course designing and drawing jewelry, shading techniques and also drawing various gemstones and accessories such as rings, pendants, earrings, bracelets and bangles that are qualified for production will be taught. We will also offer digital painting skillshops as add-on courses for those who wish to present their ideas digitally. Technically, it does not matter whether you use a pencil and paper or a tablet and stylus for digital drawing, all these techniques that you will learn are fit for either way.
Consistency and professionalism at Mortazavi Design Academy comes from many years of study, experience and research in jewelry innovation and design. MDA teachers are professional jewelry designers certified as academic instructors, and have trained to become well-experienced in teaching the latest methods in jewelry modeling and design. The academic material developed by MDA are unique and unparalleled to any other design academy or university in the world. After a decade of teaching jewelry design, I decided to share my experiences in a more practical way with those who are passionate to learn this profession. MDA team find themselve obligated in developing students to become designers that are proficient, precise and look towards creating concepts that last longer than style or trend. Instructors who are chosen to teach at Mortazavi Design Academy are often selected from the top ten designers in the academy. MDA team continue to assist students with any technical jewelry designing issues, software installation and hardware requirements even after they graduate from the academy. They can always use services such as makeup classes, help with their computer software issues or if qualified, they can be recommended to companies for a job interview. MDA team make sure that the latest teaching methods and materials are presented, and moreover they are instructed in a way to meet the local market and domestic production needs; so students that graduate from the academy not only learn how to design properly, but become qualified for the competitive jewelry market. Based on experience, the main goal of those who chose to attend MDA is often to find a job and have an income. Eventually those who graduate from MDA will be awarded an international certificate from the academy.
The major difference that parts Mortazavi Design Academy from other academies and schools that present online courses is that we at MDA offer a live, interactive class whereas other online education websites usually offer a pre-recorded video of a course that withdraws the ability to collaborate with the instructor and ask questions. However at MDA we assure a full collaborative online class that allows the students to ask questions, collaborate and see the class live from their online panel.
This course is suitable for those who are interested in learning a new career, especially those who studied industrial design, architecture, art and painting. Those whom their field of study has nothing to do with designing but can operate a computer and handle ordinary tasks in the Windows operating system can attend these courses and learn this profession quite easily as well.
Those who are not familiar with computers and the Windows operating system, or do not have a high-school diploma would not be eligible to attend these courses.
Designing is the first step in production. Design and production with computer has become very popular inn the recent years due to there ease of operation, faster production and lower costs.
This has caused the 3D printers to become very popular and everyone who owns a 3D printer needs a CAD designer to design 3D jewelry models for print. 3D printers were quite slow in the past. For instance, if someone owned a 3D printer, they needed only two CAD designers to keep their printer running. Today each modern 3D printer can handle up to 10 designers to keep running. This is why job openings are increasing for 3D jewelry designers more
Students will be awarded a “Certificate of Completion” by the academy upon their completion of the course.
