A. Perform a manual material manipulation in order to support the creation of a non-traditional craft-based costume piece.
B. Operate a dye vat with oversight or mentorship.
C. Measure, cut, sew or otherwise manipulate and fit a basic non-traditional fabric pattern on another person with oversight from the instructor.
By participating in the class, the student will observe, note, mirror, and contribute to the process of mounting the costumes for that term's production. This experience will vary according to the costuming demands of the term (which change with each production, though many skills are transferable, they may manifest and need to be adjusted to meet the current need (an example would be learning to hand-sew using a simple fabric like cotton or muslin in a 100level version, where the medium (such as leather, Tyvek, felt) may change, as so would the tools ( replacing a traditional needle with non-traditional tools such as an awl, hacksaw or heat gun.)
The student would utilize given Pattern 欧洲杯决赛竞猜app_欧洲杯足球网-投注|官网ment, Construction, Fitting and Alterations, skills to variable crafted costume projects, this may include Dyeing and Painting in the creation of Costume and Costume Accessories.
