Works for Studying Abroad by the Fabric Major of Parsons Design College
Employment direction:
After graduation, students majoring in Textiles can be engaged in work related to concept and trend prediction, such as annual fashion trends, and can also be engaged in majors related to drama, film and television, and news, such as costume designers, stage set designers, etc. In addition, you can also work in combination with other design fields, such as Product design, clothing design, industrial manufacturing, buyers, stylists, illustration artists, installation art Etc.
The above is about Study abroad in fabric major in British and American universities Although the natural light is just a simple comb, it should be clear that although it is the same major, each art school still has a very big difference. By comparing the undergraduate and master level Textiles majors of four British and American art schools, it is not difficult to find that even if it is the same major, the interpretation of each art school The research direction has its own bias more or less. This also led to the Degree setting, work collection review requirements, professional credit system, curriculum setting There will be some deviations in such aspects. As we can see above, as both undergraduate students, CSM grants BA degrees (Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Arts), while FIT grants BFA degrees (Bachelor of Fine Arts/Bachelor of Fine Arts) and AAS degrees (Associate in Applied Science/Associate of Applied Science). That is to say, although theoretically, they all belong to the same major of Textiles, they are actually three completely different "fields". Therefore, students are preparing Major of colleges and universities applying for art study abroad Even for the same major, you should choose a suitable college and major according to your interests, employment prospects, etc.
In addition to the above four art schools, there are many schools with Textiles, such as LCF、Pratt、Chelsea Of course, if you don't only consider Britain and the United States, then Italy Marangoni, Japan Institute of Culture and Fashion They are also very good choices. By the way, I said quietly to students who like costume design: Yale University costume design study abroad Great!
