INTRODUCTION TO FASHION SKILLS II (6 SCU)

Learning Outcomes:

Upon successful completion of this course, students are expected to be able to: demonstrate a range of production methods and technical skills through the exploration and experimentation of fashion products with independent judgments of aesthetics, efficiency, and effectiveness in the production process; identify appropriate solutions in the creation of fashion products; develop various creative methods and technical skills in response to design problems and solutions; and demonstrate a responsible working method in meeting deadlines and documentation of the process.

Topics:

This course will introduce students to the principles of pattern design through a block pattern and draping on body forms. To a larger extent, the students will learn the interpretation of design into patterns, i.e. a relationship between 2D drawing skills and 3D pattern shapes, and produce a prototype for style and fit evaluations. An introduction to CAD of a flat block pattern is also included in this course.
