The course will include a workshop component where printing methods will be taught and the students own designs can be realized as well as site visits to designers, producers and realized projects in the Scandinavian context. The course will run for half of the semester in an intense format. The course includes field studies to a textile Designer/Design company and guest speakers from design industries or academia. Textile Design in Scandinavia workshop is designed for students in studio art, interior design, architecture, design history, graphic design, creative management or business. Studio groups combine students of different standing and background. The course is taught vertically, and expectations relate to each individual student. Students will work in analog and digital media. User knowledge of Photoshop is required. Enrollment is limited according to workshop availability. The key focus of the course is on patterns. The word pattern is used to refer to a motif, behavior or occurrence repeated over time or in space. Repetition of a motif on a surface appeals to the sense of order and can create an enjoyable sense of rhythm due to eye movement from place to place within the pattern. Recognizing the repetition also plays a great role in the pleasure of looking at repeat patterns. Repeat patterns form a special subgenre in the decorative arts and are especially associated with continuous lengths of textiles and paper. Repeat patterns can also be applied to facades, floors, clothing and other surfaces, with adaptations to the particular shape or limitations of the surface. Learning Objectives The objectives of the workshop are to train students in the textile design process in a Danish context and to inspire design solutions based on knowledge of Danish and Scandinavian methods of textile design.

2. 2 DIS Architecture and Design Spring 2014 Textile Design in Scandinavia Workshop 3 Credits www.DISabroad.org Required Texts Reading material can be found on DIS Forum.
