2 PLEASE BRING YOUR REQUIRED TEXTS WITH YOU TO EVERY STUDIO SESSION. THEY WILL BE USED FREQUENTLY AS REFERENCE TOOLS AND FOR WEEKLY DRAWING ASSIGNMENTS. Attendance & Critiques This is a rigorous studio course; you will get out of it what you put into it. This course also is critical in the development of illustration and presentation skills that will serve you well throughout your academic and professional career. Attendance for all class sessions is mandatory. Attendance will be taken at every studio session. If you are more than 15 minutes late for the studio you will be considered absent for the day. You are allowed 2 absences during the course of the semester. If you miss 2 or less studios you will be awarded 25 points for the semester, if you miss over 2 studios you will received 0 pts for attendance. In addition, you are expected to participate in critiques. There will be weekly mini-critiques as well as larger critiques for projects when they are due. The instructor may deduct points from your final grade if you do not actively participate in these critiques. Please also know that there is multiple critique check-ins for each project. There are specific requirements for this check-ins that are explained in detail on each rubric. Failure to meet these requirements will seriously affect your grade. Late Work Late work is not accepted except in the presence of an extenuating circumstance. Appropriate documentation is required if work is to be accepted late and is subject to point deduction at the discretion of the instructor, not to exceed a maximum of 25pts. Documentation that would be appropriate to even consider accepting late work would be a doctor s note, police report or some similar form of official record. Special Accommodations: Please address any special needs or special accommodations based on the impact of a disability with me at the beginning of the semester or as soon as you become aware. Those seeking accommodations based on disabilities should obtain a Student Academic Accommodation Request (SAAR) from the Disability Resources (DR) office ( ). DR is located in Room 1076 of the Student Services Building. Critiques The critique process is fundamental to your learning in this course. Students must be present for each critique. Various approaches will be taken to encourage participation and the use of a critical eye when evaluating your work and the work of others. The intention of the critique is to provide you feedback and to spark new ideas of how to improve the quality of your work. Students must be present for all critiques and the instructor at his/her discretion can deduct points for non-participation.

3 Drawing Assignments There are a total of 25 drawing assignments in the course. These are graded and each is worth a total of 10 points or collectively approximately 25% of your total grade for the semester. Drawing assignments are critical to your learning and reinforce technique. These assignments are regularly critiqued as well. Requirements for each assignment are provided in studio. It is the student s responsibility to make sure they understand and record the requirements for each assignment. These assignments are not graded on completion but rather on demonstration of technique. Often times, your classmates will put assignments in rank order. These are opportunities to receive valuable feedback prior to completing major projects. Keeping and open mind and a receptive approach to constructive feedback are critical to your learning. Drawing Sessions During the semester you are required to attend a total of 6 drawing sessions outside of class. These are offered as nude live model evening drawing sessions in the College of Design, or as gesture drawing sessions provided in our open studio time in 313 Mackay. A schedule will be provided to you when it becomes available but please plan accordingly. The nude sessions require a small admission fee. You will be provided an attendance slip that must be signed and dated by the attendant at either session. Your attendance slip will be due on the last day of regularly scheduled class and is worth 50 total points. Each session must be attended for a minimum of 1 hour for a total of 6 hours in the semester. Projects Overview A project statement and rubric will be provided for each assignment. However, in general, here is an overview of each project: Project 1 Female Fashion Croquis: Each student will perfect 12 female fashion croquis. Special attention will be paid to proportion, style, line quality, gesture, hands, feet, hairstyles and faces. These croquis will then be used over and over again on subsequent projects. Project 2 Technical Drawing Line Development: Students will complete flat drawings in different formats: to scale based on garments from the ISU Historic Costume Collection, as well as an inspired collection of 16 different pieces on a flat croquis. This inspired collection will also be rendered to reflect color, pattern and texture. Project 3 Apparel Brand Line Evaluation: Students will evaluate the work of an assigned current designer and identify a potential void in the collection. Then a collection of 6 complete looks will be developed on croquis. Technical flats will also be completed for each of your garments. Project 5 Menswear or Children's: Students will illustrate 3 looks and can choose to develop either a men s or children's collection.

4 Final Project: Students will design a collection of their choosing. Format requirements will be provided. A project proposal will be due to the instructor that cites demographic information of your target customer in APA format. Portfolio: Students will present final revised work from the semester in a portfolio. This is an ongoing project throughout the semester and the student should revise work based on instructor and class feedback for inclusion in the final portfolio. In conjunction with the portfolio the student will complete a personal logo to reflect their design sensibilities. Open Studio Throughout the semester 313 Mackay will be open at posted times in the evening for student use. There will be an attendant present that may be your instructor or an assigned undergraduate teaching assistant. The attendant can answer questions and provide feedback on your work. These open studio times will also be used as gesture drawing sessions with a live model to fulfill your drawing session requirements as explained above. Students that take advantage of this additional time in studio see a tremendous improvement in their work over time. I would highly encourage your attendance.

Supplemental videos and demonstrations are posted to Blackboard to reinforce your learning, you are REQUIRED to view these videos. Viewing is tracked and points may be deducted from the semester attendance points for not regularly viewing these videos.
