COURSE CONTENT

Student Learning Outcomes:
At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:

1.  Identify and apply the design principles and techniques necessary for the draping process.

2.   Create an original design on a dress form using the principles and techniques of draping.

 

Objectives:

In order to achieve these learning outcomes, during the course the student will:

1. Accurately use fabric grainline to achieve desired garment drape, according to design

    specifications and fabric type.

2. Utilize the dress form to create designs directly from fabric, including, but not limited to, the

    following garments and their various parts:  tops, skirts, dresses, collars, and sleeves.

3. Convert draped fabric designs into production-ready paper patterns.

4. Interpret three dimensional form from a flat two dimensional piece of fabric.  

5. Discern which designs are most appropriate for draping techniques vs. flat pattern techniques.

6. Compare the differences between draping with woven and knitted fabrics.

Methods of Evaluation/Basis of Grade.

Writing: Assessment tools that demonstrate writing skill and/or require students to select, organize and explain ideas in writing.		Writing 0 - 0%
None
This is a degree applicable course but assessment tools based on writing are not included because problem solving assessments and skill demonstrations are more appropriate for this course.
Problem solving: Assessment tools, other than exams, that demonstrate competence in computational or non-computational problem solving skills.		Problem Solving 10 - 15%
Final Project (Proposal and execution strategy)
Skill Demonstrations: All skill-based and physical demonstrations used for assessment purposes including skill performance exams.		Skill Demonstrations 60 - 80%
Practice designs; Midterm exam (skill-based); Final Project (Completed 3-D Design)
Exams: All forms of formal testing, other than skill performance exams.		Exams 5 - 10%
Midterm and final
Other: Includes any assessment tools that do not logically fit into the above categories.		Other Category 5 - 15%
