Course Description

This course offers a behind-the-scenes look at the world of the
fashion designer and the costume designer. The class will be
focused on design research and communicating the page-tostage
process. Students will go through the motion of fashion
sketching, discussing textile materials and bringing a character
or full garment to life. Students will be exposed to the principles
of design through the lens of various industries and will have
the opportunity to develop designs inspired by different stimuli.
There will also be opportunities for involvement in the design and
construction process for the Dance and Drama productions here
at TAS. Honors students are required to take on a leadership role to
assist their classmates with sewing and construction skills.
