15 courses with the subject FIBR, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
FIBR 101Introduction to Fibers & Textiles1.5
45.0 hours 100 level undergraduate course Provides students with a hands-on studio experience grounded in fabric processes and materials as a means of personal expression. The student receives an introduction to stamp printing and direct painting on fabric, collage, three-dimensional off-loom structures, as well as tapestry weaving on frame loom. Guidance is offered in the form of demonstrations, slide presentations, field trips, informal discussion, and intensive group critiques. Requires completion of 15 credits This course is not repeatable for credit.
67.5 hours 200 level undergraduate course An introduction to both traditional and experimental uses of materials and structural processes in the fabric media. Assignments focus on the exploration of two- and three-dimensional forms in preparation for versatile approaches to the fibers media. A range of off-loom mixed media techniques are covered. Requires completion of 30 credits. This course may be completed 2 times for credit.
90.0 hours 200 level undergraduate course Students explore the potential of two- and three-dimensional forms in preparation for versatile approaches to the fibers media. Loom, woven structures, tapestry, and woven color are covered. This course may be completed 2 times for credit.
90.0 hours 200 level undergraduate course Extends students’ basic color and drawing vocabulary through exposure to ancient techniques and tools of Indonesia, Japan, and Africa. Fabric dyeing and resist methods are addressed, including drawing and stamping with waxes, stitching and binding with threads, etc. Students acquire a broader sense of “mark-making,” an understanding of the special color properties of dyes, and an ability to use non-Western traditional craft methods to create contemporary art fabric. This course may be completed 2 times for credit.
90.0 hours 200 level undergraduate course Through a series of developmental assignments, students are provided with a solid technical and conceptual base in the fabric media. Non-loom constructions, color, and multifiber dye techniques are covered. This course may be completed 2 times for credit.
45.0 hours 200 level undergraduate course Focuses on the fundamental principles of translating drawings and photographs into designs and images for screen-printed fabric, using a fine art approach. Exploration of myriad possibilities in creating fabric using silkscreen and fabric pigments. Requires completion of 30 credits. This course may be completed 2 times for credit.
90.0 hours 200 level undergraduate course The garment provides a tangible yet pliable boundary between the space of self and the space of the world. In this introductory fibers studio, students learn costume construction fundamentals (hand and machine sewing, millinery, flat pattern design, etc.) and explore the garment as a vehicle for personal expression. Students are encouraged to experiment with technique, and a variety of both traditional and unconventional materials are used. Concurrent with studio work, students are introduced to the cultural, political, social, historic, and aesthetic dimensions of costume as it relates to contemporary art. The semester concludes with a collaborative performance. Requires completion of 30 credits. This course may be completed 2 times for credit.
undefined hours 200 level undergraduate course This course allows for the presentation of one-time, unique studio experiences involving either specialized themes, media, classroom structures, or teaching and learning formats, for the development of projects relevant to contemporary Fibers issues. Requires completion of 30 credits. This course may be completed 4 times for credit.
FIBR 311Fibers and Textile Studies Junior Studio I3
90.0 hours 300 level undergraduate course Through a series of developmental assignments with a conceptual emphasis and by using acquired knowledge from previous semesters, students are encouraged to explore forms that reveal the inherent physical qualities and potential image-making possibilities of fabric. Loom-woven and mixed-media fabric techniques are used as appropriate, depending on the student’s interest in the development of a diverse range of two-dimensional constructions, sculptural forms, costume, etc. Prerequisites Take 6 credits from FIBR*211, FIBR*212, or FIBR*222 This course is not repeatable for credit.
FIBR 312Fibers and Textile Studies Junior Studio II3
90.0 hours 300 level undergraduate course A continuation of FIBR*311. In preparation for the senior thesis, students take on increased responsibility for the form and content of their work. Prerequisites Take 6 credits from FIBR*211, FIBR*212, or FIBR*222 This course is not repeatable for credit.
FIBR 313Fibers and Textile Studies Junior Projects3
90.0 hours 300 level undergraduate course This course serves as a companion to CRFB 311. Technical and conceptual material presented dovetails with that presented in CRFB 311. Prerequisites Complete 6 credits from: FIBR*211, FIBR*212, or FIBR*222
FIBR 411Fibers and Textile Studies Senior Thesis I3
90.0 hours 400 level undergraduate course In consultation with faculty, students question and refine their interests and begin production of a cohesive body of work for their thesis exhibition. Faculty presentations are complemented by student research and investigation. Prerequisites Complete 6 credits from FIBR*211, FIBR*212, or FIBR*222 This course is not repeatable for credit.
FIBR 412Fibers and Textile Studies Senior Thesis II3
90.0 hours 400 level undergraduate course In consultation with faculty, students question and refine their interests and begin production of a cohesive body of work for their thesis exhibition.

90.0 hours 400 level undergraduate course A continuation of CRFB 313. Problems become more complex as students acquire a level of technical mastery appropriate to their ideas. Emphasis is placed on the student’s conceptual development. Prerequisites SOAC*301
undefined hours 400 level undergraduate course Independent Study offers a matriculated student the opportunity to initiate individual research or advanced projects that are beyond the limits of the standard curriculum. This course requires permission by the offering program office. This course may not be audited. This course cannot be taken pass/fail.
