Instructor: Julie Ann Brown

This course will focus on the creative process of designing fashion apparel by gathering inspiration, creating mood boards, and sketching. Students will be introduced to the 5 essential considerations of fashion design: fabric, silhouette, design detail, proportion, and functionality. Students will sketch their design ideas on full length figures (croquis) and will learn how to talk about their ideas in class.

The course also covers flat sketching (symmetrical front and back sketch of a garment) which students can use as a construction guide in pattern making. Returning Fashion Design Students will be given more advanced work.

Upon registration, students will receive a Syllabus which includes a supply list.

Results:
Portfolio of Sketch and Design including Flat sketches, illustrations and mood boards

Curriculum:
Fashion Sketching Techniques
