Introduction to the Program
Sketches come to life when the designer applies different techniques for their elaboration”
A good sketch is one that is able to perfectly express the designer's ideas. Being the first phase to start the artistic work, it is usual to start with a simple approach and give access to creativity. Professionals in the area go a step further and add movement to the figure; they not only imagine the garment, but also how it unfolds on the catwalk.

Then, the materials used to create a neat design and the different proportions worked in the traditional sector of drawing and fashion will be exposed.

At the end of this program, students will have a theoretical knowledge of the basics of artistic drawing and the representation of garments on paper. As a result, they will become versatile designers, able to create their work in any medium.
