Hide-Programme Overview
The aim of this programme is to provide learners with a comprehensive introduction to costume design in theatre and film. Learners will study aspects of costume design and make up for theatre and film. Learners are instructed in construction techniques used for costume realization and reconstruction -including foundation garments, surface embellishment and decoration, fabric sourcing. Learners will study drawing, illustration and presentation styles to develop design ideas and to communicate the ideas. They gain research skills by analysing social and costume history from medieval times to the present. Learners will have the opportunity to study actual historical costumes from different eras to expand their knowledge of fabrics and techniques used at the time. The Limerick area has a great reputation for Drama and Theatre. This provides work experience opportunities for our learners. Over the programme learners are also introduced to the techniques of make up for film and theatre.
