Fiber Sculpting and Medium Expression, History of Contemporary Fiber Art, Fiber Art & Technology

• Fiber Sculpting and Medium Expression

This course focuses on the transformation of thinking and the integration of language connections between fiber's formal qualities and its material expression, with an emphasis on the experiential nature of fiber art. It aims to develop students' understanding of fiber art language and creative thinking, building from basic technical skills toward more independent and exploratory approaches.

• History of Contemporary Fiber Art

This course traces the history of fiber art from ancient textile traditions through the emergence, rise, transformation, and development of modern fiber art up to the end of the 20th century. It examines fiber art's academic lineage as a new art category of the 20th century and its place in art history. Through systematic study of theory and history, the course also explores new directions for contemporary fiber art creation and research.

• Fiber Art & Technology

This course covers two main areas: Digital Weaving and Intermedia Fabrication. It aims to develop interactive expressive languages between fiber weaving and digital culture, drawing on technical knowledge from fields such as materials science, electrical engineering, and other multidisciplinary fields. The course explores the possibilities of interaction between fiber materials, structures, forms, and other media, with a focus on driving innovation and interdisciplinary experimentation in fiber art.
