ART 154 - Surface Design on Fabric

Institution:

College of Marin

Subject:

Description:

(4.0 Units) (No prerequisite. Three lecture and three laboratory hours weekly.) This course explores the vast possibilities for dyeing and printing cloth to achieve richly patterned surfaces for apparel, interiors, theater, performance or artistic/conceptual intentions. A variety of fabric manipulations and coloring methods are investigated to develop design composition, repeat patterning, and personally expressive imagery for two- and three-dimensional fabric applications. Techniques include immersion-dyeing, shibori, color removal, painting, paste resist, block printing, burn-out, ink-jet and screen printing. Historical and contemporary examples are examined for technical information, inspiration and personal interpretation. Studio work will be enhanced through slide presentations, field trips, guest artists, individual consultations and group critiques. May be taken four times for credit. (CSU)
