Aims
The aim of this module is to allow costume makers to explore and analyse a range of pattern cutting and construction techniques associated with different periods and styles, investigating a variety of approaches to innovative costume making.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Apply a variety of advanced, innovative and creative pattern cutting and design interpretation methods through experimental sampling.
2.
Apply a variety of advanced, innovative costume construction techniques to a range of materials through experimental sampling.
3.
Demonstrate critical thinking, engineering and problem-solving skills in relation to costume making.
4.
Evaluate own practice, contextualising independent research and applying it to the analysis of the costume making process.
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:
This module will focus on a range of pattern cutting and making techniques associated with a range of styles and periods of performance costume. This will be supported by reflective analysis of the development of the student’s practice.

Module Overview:
This module enables the student to investigate a broad range of pattern cutting and costume construction methods through the delivery of a diverse masterclass programme exploring various costume making disciplines.
Students will be provided with the opportunity for guided experimentation, enabling them to expand their costume making skills and apply unfamiliar construction methods as they develop as a maker, researcher and practitioner.
Throughout the module, a comprehensive portfolio of patterns and samples will be developed that represents the students individualreaction to and understanding of the various areas of costume construction. Following the masterclass programme, the student will develop an individual personal project where they can explore a chosen theme or specialism of costume making in more depth.
Through a reflective analysis of the work undertaken, students will begin toevaluate the competences and capabilities required of a successful costume maker. They will evidence the intellectual and technical skills of the maker, such as mathematics, problem solving and engineering, as well as considering how their experiential haptic knowledge is applied to thetranslation of the two-dimensional costume design into thetangiblethree-dimensional costume.
The approach to the work for this module will demonstrate the application of the principles of practice research, i.e.- creating work which leads to new insights and advanced knowledge that can be applied to future professional development and costume construction projects.
