Briefly write three possible final project ideas and submit below.
Consider:
- Is it logistically possible to find the research I need in four weeks for a 7-page paper?
- Is it specific?
- Have I thought of primary sources to examine, analyze, and interpret in the essay?
- Are there archives I can visit to find primary sources?
- What’s the connection with my Studio project? How does it help, inform, or add another dimension to what I want to do in Studio?
My first idea is the relationship of music and fashion. I want to focus on how fashion designers can create fashion inspired by music, I will also briefly talk about how music and fashion influence each other. Because I am probably going to create a series of garments inspired by one or multiple pieces of music.
My second idea is about the functional fashion. I will research about how designers create fashion that is not only for looking good, but also making our lives easier. If I chose this topic, I would create a series of garments that are functional under different occasions. For example, waterproof garments and garments designed specifically for art students.
My third idea is about the relationship of fashion and emotion. I can explore how people’s clothes affect their mood and people can manipulate their emotions through their clothes. I will probably create a series of garments that can reflect or generate various moods.
For the primary resources, I am thinking about visiting the new school libraries and FIT libraries and taking some interviews.
