This course will analyze perceptions of fashion from different times and places, with a focus on how cultural tradition and available materials influence designers' ideas and work. Students will compare and apply appropriate illustration skills and concepts to manipulate formal qualities and compositional devices in a way that enhances their own point of view as a designer. After continued development and refinement of illustration skills, students will present a collection of fashion illustrations to communicate personal perceptions. Writing, academic language, and critical-thinking skills are developed through artist statements, critiques, and the close reading of artworks as text.
