Curriculum includes figure drawing, watercolor, marker rendering, collage, history of costume, script annotation, costume construction (advanced students have the opportunity to construct production costumes) milllinery, dyeing, mask making, painting and distressing fabric. Students on both the Graduate and Undergraduate level have opportunities to design actual productions.
