BFA: MAJOR IN TEXTILEs/<br />
FAsHION<br />
The Bachelor <strong>of</strong> Fine <strong>Art</strong>s, Major in Textiles/<br />
Fashion program <strong>of</strong>fers students the opportunity<br />
to explore the diverse field <strong>of</strong> textiles <strong>and</strong><br />
fashion, which encompasses art, science, <strong>and</strong><br />
technology. The Program integrates three key<br />
areas <strong>of</strong> research: structure, surface <strong>and</strong> form.<br />
This unique approach to textiles education<br />
balances conceptual concerns with the technical<br />
<strong>and</strong> design skills required to underst<strong>and</strong> the<br />
textile traditions <strong>of</strong> weaving, dye <strong>and</strong> print <strong>and</strong><br />
garment making. Students will examine the<br />
relationships between materials, processes, <strong>and</strong><br />
the maker, as well as the critical role that textiles<br />
<strong>and</strong> fashion have played in world cultures. With<br />
a focus on sustainable <strong>and</strong> organic materials<br />
<strong>and</strong> techniques, the program maintains<br />
h<strong>and</strong>craft values <strong>and</strong> incorporates appropriate<br />
digital methodologies.<br />
