Pattern Designing

Aim

On completion of the course, the student should: - be able to apply knowledge of the materials, tools and techniques of crafts with focus on pattern design, manual as well as computerised - be able to use both manual and cad-based design methods in textile design - be able to visualise and communicate design ideas with different techniques - be able to apply and reflect on crafts and craft teaching from a didactic perspective with focus on pattern design

Content

The studies contain practical, laboratory work with basic textile techniques in pattern design, manual as well as computerised and its tools. The students mainly work with pattern design exercises and personally designed patterns, which the students design both with manual tools and a cad-based pattern design program. Within the design process, the students work with different sketching techniques, 3D, body and proportions, colour, form and exhibition layout with focus on a personally presented collection. The students apply pattern modifications on already completed patterns. The students document and reflect on their own processes in a portfolio.
