Understand relationships between material, body, culture, and identity
Learn to draw inspiration from artists and designers

Teaching Methods：

Small group discussion + one-on-one mentorship
Research workshop / Research workshop
Sketchbook feedback and annotations
Artist reference analysis
Material and concept experimentation

Goal：
Develop conceptual thinking and critical analysis skills, laying a foundation for subsequent design.

Research Board

Explores material contrasts and body perception, forming the conceptual basis for experimentation. Image: Research Board (Phase 1 – Process)

Sketchbook

Concept notes and annotated sketches illustrate the development of initial ideas. Image: Sketchbook Page (Phase 1 – Concept)

Artist Reference

Reference analysis of Sarah Lucas informs conceptual approach and material experimentation. Image: Artist Reference (Phase 1 – Analysis)

Phase 2：Development & Experimentation

Teaching Methods：

Mentored material experiments
Draping and 3D prototyping
Iteration comparison and critique
Studio critique sessions

Material Experiments : Exploration of unconventional materials to test texture and form.

Draping / 3D : Draping on mannequin to translate conceptual ideas into three-dimensional form.

Iteration Comparison : Demonstrates evolution of design thinking.

Studio Wall : Documenting process and ideation

Phase 3：Final Outcome

Goal：
Produce finished work reflecting concept realization.

Student Understanding Goals：

Realize concepts into tangible outcomes
Present and photograph final pieces
Understand relationship between concept, material, and outcome

Teaching Methods：

Lookbook photography guidance
One-on-one final piece optimization
Final garment creation and presentation
Process → Outcome demonstration

Goal：
Produce finished work reflecting concept realization.

Student Understanding Goals：

Phase 3: Final Outcome

Goal: Produce finished work reflecting concept realization. Student goals: Realize concepts into tangible outcomes, present and photograph final pieces, and connect material/concept. Methods: lookbook guidance, 1:1 optimization, process to outcome. Images: Final Garment (visualizes concept), Lookbook/Shoot (documents outcome), Process→Outcome Comparison (process vs. result). Phase icons: Outcome, Presentation, Realization.
