Sketching Techniques for Aspiring Fashion Designers

Students will practice various sketching techniques used by fashion designers to create their own designs. Every week, the focus will be on a different fashion theme. We will explore these themes and how designers use sketching methods to achieve their desired look. We will also go over how to apply sketching in the real world as well as tips and strategies for sharing design and concept ideas.
