CRAFTS 3311 - Body Art & Adornment

Institution:

Temple University

Subject:

Description:

This course is the exploration of the histories and techniques involved in the construction of clothing, costume, fashion, and haute couture. The term clothing implies protection against the elements and to preserve modesty. Costume functions beyond simple utility, becoming a means of seduction by enhancing nature, or adding artificial attraction. Fashion and haute couture indulges the fantasy of the creator. Students will be encouraged to explore their own interpretations of these terms through construction: machine knitting, crochet, hand and machine sewing, and embroidery. Students may also experiment with documentation methods, including performance, fashion shows, photography, and video as media to exhibit cumulated work.
