Hello. My name is Talia. I am currently a freshman at Syracuse, and my major is fashion design. I am from Cleveland, Ohio. I chose Syracuse because it is a great choice for a fashion major. I get education in all the fields of design including: drawing, 3 dimensional arts, 2 dimensional arts, and time arts, as well as education outside of the arts fields. I think that it is important to have knowledge in subjects other than just fashion, so coming here allows me to also take academic classes and gives me a chance to have a minor in business.
Second semester started 2 weeks ago and so far I am really enjoying my classes, more than last semester. I feel like I have a much better handle on how to manage my work. I do not procrastinate! My favorite class this semester is Visual Thinking. In this class I learn about how to draw clothing onto a model and how to create a mood board. It is all about finding an inspiration. This is really what I have always wanted to do, so this class really interests me a lot and really involves creativity. Art is what I love to do more than anything, so being in classes that involve art motivates me to work hard.
For my first visual thinking assignment I chose Romare Bearden as my inspiration. I will be designing about 6 clothing designs based off of his Carribean inspired paintings. Here is an example of his work:

The project won't be finished until the end of February, but I will update you on my progress!
