In this course, students will learn the fundamental technical skills to create garments, starting with the introductory and progressing into more complex and dynamic applications. Students will learn skills such as pattern making, draping, sewing and other means of garment construction in a critical and explorative manner while addressing cultural, social, and environmental contexts. Class time will comprise of learning the technical fundamentals of garment construction; applying research outcomes to manipulate, build, and construct 2D/3D products; exploring, analyzing, and deconstructing fashion products, to understand construction methods; and navigating the design process as it moves from 2D to 3D. At the end of this course students will possess an introductory level understanding of technical design that employs 2D and 3D methods.
