Teaching Methods
Students can understand fashion illustration thoroughly through The Miami School of Fashion and Design’s Portfolio Experience: Fashion Illustration course, which offers a complete approach that teaches students the valuable college-level skills to master fashion illustration. In this fashion course, we cover fundamental skills, including flat design, shading techniques, male and female body proportions, drawing fabric with color, and creating a professional portfolio. The course has two levels for those looking to enhance their knowledge in the field. Sustainability is one of our guiding principles at Istituto Marangoni Miami, and we include it in all curriculum aspects. Students gain knowledge of sustainable fashion principles and how to incorporate them into their work through practical projects and discussions. At the culmination of the program, students are required to submit a final fashion design portfolio for college applications showcasing their fashion illustrations and design projects.
Learning Outcomes
Students who enroll in this fashion portfolio course acquire a broad range of fashion illustration abilities that will help them succeed in the competitive field of fashion design. Students gain proficiency in fundamental skills like drawing flat fashion designs, shading male and female body proportions and handling pencils precisely throughout the course of study. They get an advanced understanding of shading techniques, from pencil to color, to accurately represent a range of cloth textures. Students also explore the complexities of college portfolio standards, learning how to arrange and display their work in a way that best represents their technical expertise and creativity. By the end of the program, students emerge with a robust portfolio that demonstrates their artistic prowess and reflects their readiness to pursue further studies or embark on a career in fashion illustration.
