Week 12



This new curriculum is all about our classes relating to each other. This assignment is exactly what the administration had in mind. Though I was originally presented with this assignment in my integrated studio it related to my drawing and digital. I even was able to use inspiration from my liberal arts course.

This top is a garment from my collection based on the white collared shirt. Typically these are clean cut and boring compared to those pictured by Velasquez. (An artist I am studying in Baroque and Rococo Art History.) While draping these shirts I constantly was thinking of my dad as I used two of his old dress shirts, that smell just like him, to create the bodice and collar. In my drawing class we had been focusing on the rendering of stripes and how they change direction at the collar. In the construction of this garment my stripes follow the collar.
