Apparel & Fashion Illustration

In this course, the processes of a fashion designer, costume designer, and cutter /draper are explored. Through research, illustration, and rendering, the understanding of a garment emerges. Students will learn to draw the skeleton, muscles, and skin of the human body as a two-dimensional form. Students will also fine-tune their skills of dressing the form and completing the rendering and illustration in paint, color, and texture. Topics will include fabric interpretation, personal style, fashion design, period and theatrical costumes, technical flats, and tech packs. Students will create a collection of illustrations for use in a professional portfolio. The cost for students to participate will be approximately $25-$50.
