Teaching methodologies and assessment
Teaching methodologies and assessment
Fashion design students are made aware of the importance of their future profession by learning the methodology and practice of fashion design projects. The active method allows students to quickly assimilate the basic concepts. Through observation and experimentation, students learn the fundamental principles and areas of application of the theoretical knowledge associated with materials technology and the plastic expression required in this CU to communicate fashion ideas. Theoretical-practical classes allow students to consolidate their knowledge and apply it through various exploratory assignments. The work carried out will be monitored by the teacher during lessons.
