ART.4034 Textile Art and Design
This course is intended to introduce students to the use of design concepts and techniques in the development and production of textiles. The makers of fabrics have employed considerations such as color and tone, balance and harmony, and form and texture since the very beginning of textile production early on in the course of human history. Students interested in art and design, handicrafts, or the world of fashion world will have an opportunity to see how these same considerations still inform the choices made by textile industry. Museums and galleries will act as our learning laboratories. Students will become acquainted with dye-sublimation printers as a tool for producing and printing fabrics.
