Students will analyze and study social dynamics, emotional impacts, and new aesthetic forms activated by digital technologies, and explore human relations and identities, multiculturalism, sustainability, and the expansive field of fashion. Students will explore the use of technology for creating, prototyping, making, simulating, sizing, presenting, animating, digital printing, image making, and storytelling. In this course, students will learn advanced CLO 3D skills to create: customized avatars, customized trims and hardware; 3D virtual spaces; and animation. Additionally, students are encouraged to explore subjects such as gaming, the metaverse, and digital inclusion through modes of AR/VR; and by using programs like Style3D and Blender.
