TY - CONF AB - Many fashion-related programs require an introductory textiles course, no matter the career goals of the student. In addition to the introductory course, one program that teaches only merchandising and retailing offers a higher-level textile design course. Configuring this course necessitated meeting learning objectives while considering the needs and abilities of students with no design training. This presentation discussed the development of an appropriate curriculum of textile design for merchandising students and shared strategies intended for student engagement and knowledge acquisition.  AU - Sara Jablon-Roberts DA - 2019/12// DO - 10.31274/itaa.8406 IS - 1 VL - 76 PB - Iowa State University Digital Press PY - 2019 TI - Teaching Textile Design to Merchandising Students T2 - International Textile and Apparel Association Annual Conference Proceedings UR - https://www.iastatedigitalpress.com/itaa/article/id/8406/ ER -
