Open to first and second year designers, this studio course will initiate and develop their understanding of the principles of costume design, fashion design, and the construction skills needed to create clothing. Drawing from many disciplines and utilizing a variety of skills and technology, students will learn to research and visually communicate their ideas through a series of projects. Students will explore the visual communication, history, and impact of clothing both on the stage and in everyday life in addition to gaining the skills and techniques needed to create their own clothing. Skills involved in this course include research, collage, sketching, digital sketching,  figure drawing, pattern reading, sewing (machine and hand), painting, and craft.  Students interested in taking more than one art class should reach out to the registrar or the Head of Performing Arts to discuss possible options.
