denny Architectural Art & Design

Central Los Angeles Area High School #9 offers core education for grades 9-12 as well as courses in the visual arts, performing arts, music, and dance. To do justice to its mission as a public institution, the school campus also incorporates a public theater that seats nearly 1000 visitors, a facility which has previously been missing in the cultural offering of downtown Los Angeles. The school for approximately 1800 pupils is organized into four academies and comprises seven buildings: the theater building, library, cafeteria, and four classroom buildings—one for each of the artistic disciplines taught here. The design concept was to employ architectural signs to communicate the Los Angeles community's commitment to art. The point of departure for the urban arrangement of the buildings was the central and visually exposed location of the site, divided from Grand Avenue only by the 101 Freeway—one of the most heavily traveled roads to pass through the downtown area of Los Angeles. Through the four classroom buildings, the master plan sets out an orthogonal arrangement that obtains additional spatial tension through the three special buildings for the library, lobby, and theater tower.

How to make a silver wire "Greek Link" necklace; in this video I demonstrate how to construct this beautiful necklace in easy to follow, step by step instructions. Visit www.watercolorjewelry.com to learn more about my jewelry creations. To create the "Greek Link" necklace that you see me construct in this video, I used .035 sterling silver wire, soft, round. This is my favorite metal to work with, but you may also experiment with the many colored wires available at craft stores. I particularly like Black Stove Pipe wire. Black wire gives this necklace a distinctively unique look. A wire that I recently discovered is Niobium, which is a hypo-allergenic metal, easy to work with, and available in many anodized colors. The construction of this necklace requires the use of three different types of pliers, round nose pliers, chain nose pliers, and diagonal cutters. I also use a fine jewelry file to file the ends of the cut metal wire, eliminating any sharp edges, and a two ounce ball peen hammer to work the metal. Each "Greek Link" is constructed from an eight inch length of silver wire, and the links are attached to one another using a bridging link. The bridging link also permits the incorporation of beads. To complete the necklace, I attach a hand-made fish hook clasp to one end, and a figure-8 link to the other end. For a detailed demonstration on how to construct this clasp, please see my videos entitled "How to Make A Simple Jewelry Clasp, Part 1," and "How to Make A ...
