PRINT MEDIA: REPEAT PATTERN

Course Description

Throughout history, repeat patterns have adorned, draped and carried significant cultural symbolism and meaning for individuals and communities around the world. In this course, students will conduct research, produce art work, and attend lectures that survey the vast history of the production, trade and consumption of visual repeat patterns within a global context. We will explore pattern design from precolonial and postcolonial histories and how pattern directly connects to language and gender identity in non-western cultures.
