First Patterning class
key thoughts from todays class...
- Keep an open mind, keep developing ideas
- revisit skills and learn new ones
- break preconceptions
- record EVERYTHING whether you think it was successful or not
- decide on your specialist direction
- Identify relationship between a technique and the impact it has on a final visual design
- key themes and issues that influence a cutter
- Start creating a portfolio and research file on key concepts and ideas relevant to the major project - photos, samples etc etc
Historical context
- look at placement of seamlines and how they change over time
- techniques lost due to costs - industrialisation, mechanisation, quality
- see how dart and seam placements vary even in modern garments season to season
- Cultural differences and influence on clothing, status and role of the cutter
- past present and future garments - can we look to the past to extrapolate the future?
