The course objective is to provide students with the first basic tools to tackle Fashion and Costume Design. Teachers will illustrate the elements needed to represent and communicate typical cultural scenarios and design ideas as well as teaching students about traditional and innovative graphic techniques.

Students must learn not only the geometric code required to consciously represent existing and imaginary forms, but also study in-depth the geometric, proportional and perceptive tools that will allow them to manipulate those forms. Students will acquire the manual skills needed to become proficient in the use of the more simple and direct graphic techniques thanks to multiple exercises in free-hand drawing and line drawing, with a particular focus on chromatic aspects. Students will also be taught the basic notions of the Fundamentals of the Geometry of Representation.
