Curriculum

Our hands-on, pre-professional training covers a range of foundational techniques, including sewing, patternmaking, fashion illustration, conceptual design, figure drawing, color theory, body movement, performance, visual communication, and the study of textiles and fabrics.

Idyllwild Artists create and assemble garments from the ground up, learning to represent their ideas in original patterns, designs, and, ultimately, a themed Senior Collection. Awareness of sustainability, the repurposing of materials, and ecological awareness drive many of our group projects, field trips, Masterclasses, and individual designs.

Collaborate with other departments to develop interdisciplinary projects, and let your creations capture the imagination on the runway at our Fall and Spring Fashion Shows.
