In this advanced studio course, we will hone hand-drawing techniques, fabric rendering, diverse media, layout and composition, and final presentation. Each week, we will draw from a live model or researched sources to strengthen our visual communication skills and individual aesthetics. Projects allow each student to experiment and take a personal approach to fashion drawing that may then be applied to their portfolio development. Demonstrations, lectures, possible field trip(s), and critique sessions support and strengthen students’ learning throughout the semester. Students complete the course with a portfolio of 2-D work that represents an array of fashion drawing methods and approaches. Students are expected to have an understanding of fashion drawing and the figure before entering the course.
