Specialized Studio 2 expands on Design Studio courses and Specialized Studio 1, and gives the student the opportunity to build additional pathway-specific skills and techniques within 2D/3D executions. Students will have the opportunity to continue their pathways and further articulate their visions through 2D/3D processes, emphasizing innovation and personalization of technique. Students will continue integrating 3D software technology such as CLO 3D, and if applicable, other previously-learned 3D software, into design processes and final development. Specialized Studio 2 works collaboratively with Design Studio 4.

The Collection pathway challenges you to consider approaches to body, gender, age, and size, amongst others, in order to develop new narratives, definitions and terminologies within a clearly defined visual aesthetic beyond traditional contexts. Deep exploration in terms of research and process towards unexpected outcomes across gender is encouraged. Students are encouraged to redefine the meaning of a Collection.
The Fashion Product pathway takes a non-apparel focus and approach to form, sculpture, and shape, and offers students an opportunity to redefine this category utilizing a variety of traditional design/make approaches alongside technological innovation towards unique inventive outcomes. Deep exploration in terms of research and process towards unexpected outcomes in all forms is encouraged.
