This unit information may be updated and amended immediately prior to semester. To ensure you have the correct outline, please check it again at the beginning of semester.
Please note that given the circumstances of COVID-19, there may be some modifications to the assessment schedule promoted in Handbook for Semester 1 2020 Units. Students will be notified of all approved modifications by Unit Coordinators via email and Unit Blackboard sites. Where changes have been made, these are designed to ensure that you still meet the unit learning outcomes in the context of our adjusted teaching and learning arrangements.
This unit will introduce students to the art of manipulating cloth directly on the dress form in three dimensions and will cover advanced drafting and construction techniques for 3D drape and cutting processes. Students will build on draping and couture investigations to develop a self-directed design outcome informed by ongoing visual research and reference to relevant work by historical and contemporary designers. Investigation of the garment in context will require students to consider how the ideas and formal narratives may be communicated and manipulated through forms of image making.
Must have passed FAS2201
On completion of this unit students should be able to:
Students will attend on campus classes as well as engage in learning activities through ECU Blackboard.

In practical classes students are shown sculptural draping and couture construction methods by the lecturer as class demonstrations followed by student participation. Technical processes are supported with instructional material, industry level textbook references and visual recording available on blackboard. Once key methods have been introduced, students apply acquired skills to develop self-directed design outcomes with support and feedback from the lecturer and technician. Self-directed research is undertaken by students to inform design work, record and reflect on the creative learning process. Interactive movement workshops introduce students to creative and formal understanding of cloth and aid design development towards a digital contextual presentation of the final work.
