Class DescriptionGoals & Objectives: Teach how to draft pattern basic slopers, how to manipulate the patterns, & apply those skills to series of period research projects. This projects include extant garments from PSU's Fashion Archive, period sleeve images from museums, & patterning from a costume design rendering through conversations with the designers.
Semesters Taught: Fall 20 This class was particularly challenging due to remote learning. In order to be able to teach this class as well as possible, I asked another costume maker, William Young, to co-teach this course with me (with approval from the School). William was able to do live demonstrations in real time, which we recorded on Zoom, & I would later edit with subtitles for the class to reference while working on the projects. I also set up the projects with designers who were invited to the (virtual) classroom, deliver archival garments to pick up locations, deliver supplies, and pick up their physical patterns and garments created in the class. This allowed them to have the physical tools they needed me to succeed, and for me to see their physical work- give them corrections on the work both digitally & in traditional methods to ensure optimum learning objectives were being met. One graduate student in the class, choose this as an opportunity to explore digital pattern drafting, and creating 3D drafted garments. |
