What Was Learned From This Class

This class was one of my favorite during my fall semester here at Texas Tech. The course taught us about all kinds of materials. We also went on many helpful field trips. We started off the year with fibers and yarns. Then transitioned to fabric structure, color application, printing and dying, etc. We also did four projects that were not only helpful to our studying but also alot of fun.

We went to many field trips. They were all very memorable and I learned so much from them. The first one we went to was at FBRI were we got an informational tour of their facilities. I learned alot about fibers here and got to see how the whole process works. We also visited All About Looks, I was glad to know that something like this was available in Lubbock, TX. All About Looks was a materials and upholstrey store that had a wide variety of fabrics. These are only a few of the amazing locations we got to visit.

The things we learned in the class were very educating. I now know about all kind of fibers and how they are mad. I know about fabric and how they should be applied and whether or not that application is good for the environment it is in or bad. We also learned about flooring, countertops, and walls and how to apply those in the most purposeful way. I was very pleased with the material covered and I feel like alot was learned.

We did a total of four projects. The first one was to put four natural color boards together using sand, taupe, cream, and beige. This one was a little challenging because some colors can change in different lighting so it was a little hard for find the exact color family. But, I was a fun project to do. The second project we had was to remodel a bathroom. I decided to get with a partner on this one. We based our remodel on the grand canyon. Using blues, brown, and natural fixtures we achieved a natural calming look inspired by the Grand Canyon. The next project in the class was to remodel a kitchen. This was one of my favorit projects, we got to design our dream kitchen basically. The last and most recent project we did was on LEED. This was a group project, my team had Energy Efficiency. We had to give a presentation and have a game for the audience to play in a 30 minute time span.

In conclusion, I really enjoyed this class. I learned so much and will always have that information for future reference.
