Learning outcomes

The course focuses on the perception of textile creation as an important part of cultural heritage, as an artifact of material culture, testifying to the general history of mankind, the history of fine arts and architecture. The course introduces both textile materials and traditional technologies (chronology and typology of fiber processing, types of textiles, types of textile weaves, the development of lacemaking, etc.), as well as forms of their use. Clothing and home textiles are presented as symbols of the individual's social status, a reflection of contemporary thinking and lifestyle. Completion of the whole cycle, in which the development of textile creation is seen from a chronological point of view, allows students a basic orientation in the functional, morphological and aesthetic qualities of textiles from prehistory to the emergence of modern clothing. The winter semester is devoted to the development of textiles and clothing from the Paleolithic to the early Middle Ages. The end of the semester is devoted to the presentation of seminar papers based on the analysis of the work of a selected designer and the contextualization of his work.
