A arte manual têxtil no ensino de moda: entre artes, ofícios, ciência e artesanias

Abstract

This article reports the author's experience, in higher education in fashion design, with the use of textile manual arts workshops as pedagogical tools for the teaching-learning processes of design methodology. The objective was to evaluate the possibility of establishing more meaningful dialogues between handicraft and design, compatible with the development of critical skills to design theories and practices in confrontation with artisanal expertise. Under a theoretical bias, themes such as: consumer culture, manual arts, project methodology and higher education in fashion design are addressed, which serve as support for the reflections of the reported experiences in the classroom. The results show an expansion of the students' understanding skills through the awareness promoted by artisanship in their aesthetic experience. Concluding that the teaching-learning project in fashion design can be significantly favored by the dialogue with the knowledge of textile artisanship.
