FDES 110 Creating Character
This course will introduce the Costume and Fashion Design student to the nuances of character development and identity. Whether designing fashion or costume, students will learn to see, identify, and then practice the arts of color, texture, fit, and proportion. Students analyze and interpret a story to understand a specific character or customer, and learn to do additional research to enhance their work. They will then learn to translate that research into conceiving the perfect outfits for their muse/ character. In addition, students will explore the basic skills needed for drawing and rendering costumes, including depicting specific actors or celebrities.
