Description:

In this course, the students will integrate their learning from illustration and design, while beginning to incorporate digital design tools to synthesis research and intuition into tangible 3D outcomes. Projects will enhance understanding of the relationship between textile and form, 2D and 3D, and the component parts within dressing systems. This class asks the students to begin interrogating the processes learned in Design 2. The students explore material, structure, weight, movement and the relationship between form & function.The course is critique based and requires first hand research, iterative process, visual and written presentation to a pre-thesis standard. Design development, continuous sketching and research development, study of process, time-management, and presentation quality is emphasized in preparation for senior collection.  Projects are the means to refine individual expression, and to practice conceptual & critical thought. Projects use digital patterning software to rapidly ideate and pattern concepts.  As students situate their work within the larger fashion systems, the class culminates in a final project which is juried to potentially represent CCA in national competitions: CFDA and others.
