FS 2321 - Technical Studio II

Credits: 3

Expanding on basic garment development and construction skills, this course introduces students to fabric and material drape and how they can effectively and creatively manipulate and elevate basic patterns and fabrics to achieve design concepts and goals. Students will creatively experiment and move back and forth from 2D to 3D processes as a way to explore design development and garment component and detail variations. The appropriate finishings and 3D digital technology will be introduced.

Prerequisites: FS 1320 - Technical Studio I
