FC ARHU

4 credits
This course is an introduction to the art of designing costumes for the theater, with a primary focus on the process of creating the visual world of a play in both aesthetic and practical terms. Ranging from basic art concepts, through text and character analysis, research and design development to finished designs, the course will emphasize the conception of ideas that help project the style and meaning of a production. Readings, lectures, discussions, design exercises, and projects will comprise the material for this course, which demands high student initiative.
