One thousand two hundred sixty motifs: getting students to draw when they think they can't draw
Abstract
The course is a 6 hour studio, designed to introduce students to “foundational design concepts and methods representative of the creative thought and processes of fashion and textile design disciplines.” In brief the assignment was to select 5 themes, and draw 3 objects from each theme, each in 5 different styles. The result would be a collection of 60 drawings from each student, each of which could potentially be used as a design motif in a textile print or as a garment design embellishment.
