SUMMARY OF CURRICULUM CHANGES
FOR AN EXISTING COURSE
FEATURES
OLD
NEW
Serious investigation of
various aspects of faric or yarn
dyeing: direct application
(painting, etc.) resists (batik,
gutta, tie-dye, clamp-dye,

COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES
What should the student be able to do as a result of taking this course? State some of the objectives in terms of
specific, measurable student accomplishments.
1. Choose a fiber/yarn/fabric appropriate to a specific dye type (ie: fiber reactive for
cellulose, acid for protein).
2. Apply dye to fiber/yarn/fabric using any number of different techniques/processes .
3. Formulate, measure and handle dyes and auxiliary chemicals safely and with precision
using metric as well as standard American/English weights and measures.
4. Mix and match colors demonstrating a knowledge of color theory (hue, value, intensity,
colorways).
5. Keep accurate measurements/receipes that result in the ability to mix reproduceable
color (precision dyeing with stock solutions, etc.).
6. Research historical, contemporary, and multicultural applications of fabric and yarn
dyeing and apply that information to their own work.
7. Integrate professional artist's practices into their working methods as it relates to
fabrics, dyes and paints, presentation, safety, and operation of a dye studio.
COURSE CONTENT
Themes: What themes, if any, are threaded throughout the learning experiences in this course?
1. Materials and processes.
2. Safe handling of dyes and auxilary chemicals.
3. Color and design principles related to fabric and yarn dyeing.
4. Exploration and invention of personal color combinations.
5. Professional practices in application and presentation.
6. Historical, cultural, and artistic expressions in western and non-western traditions.
Concepts: What concepts do students need to understand to demonstrate course outcomes?
1. A variety of dye types (may include fiber reactives, acid, natural, indigo, vat, etc.) and
the particular fiber types and processes they are appropriate for.
2. Processes such as immersion dye pot, direct application, resist, ikat, etc..
3. Use of tools and equipment (such as triple beam balance gram scales and beakers,
etc.) particular to fabric and yarn dyeing.
4. Simple chemistry as it relates to how dyes and auxilary chemicals work.
5. Color theory (hue, value, intensity, various color combinations - warm, cool,
complimentary, etc.).
5. Basic math (percentages, pounds and ounces to grams, etc.) for figuring amounts of
dyes, chemicals, fabrics/yarns.
6. Thinking critically about the relationship of all the parts and problem solving through
research and experimentation to overcome obstacles.
7. Use to advantage occurrences such as color flashes, color mix haloing etc..
Issues: What primary issues or problems, if any, must students understand to achieve course outcomes (including
such issues as gender, diversity, multi-culturalism, and class)?
1. Aesthetic and functional similarities and differences between western and non-western
fiber art forms.
2. The fine arts versus crafts debate, and fabrics functional aspects in light of this debate.
3. How gender (and frequently class) are reflected in color choices in fashion and home
furnishing both historically and today.
3. The dialectic between historical/traditional and contemporary/experimental issues in
current art practices.
