Professor Karla Ruden’s Learning Community Features Design Analysis Assignment

CATEGORIES: ISUcommx

In Karla Ruden’s English 150 Common Threads Learning Community, there is stressed analysis of design features of buildings and artwork on campus in Assignment #4. The students are then encouraged to think of art in textiles or clothing they would be designing or that others had designed. The photo features a mini cocktail dress designed in the ’80s by Oleg Cassini. Peyton Chilton, a Common Threads student, analyzed the dress based on classical principles of color and design, resulting in an essay that both praised and reprimanded Cassini for breaking classical principles.
