FS 3320 - Technical Studio III

Credits: 3

This course introduces students to the concept of form and shape and how they can effectively and creatively manipulate patterns, draping, and fabrics to achieve dimensional design concepts. Using advanced concept ideation and development, and patternmaking and draping techniques, students will explore and play with proportion, volume, and the characteristics of shape and scale. Students will creatively integrate 2D and 3D processes as a way to explore design development, garment components, and detail variations. Appropriate tailoring, couture and finishing techniques, and 3D digital technology will be introduced.

Prerequisites: FS 2321 - Technical Studio II
