Overview<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Imagine you come upon a time machine. You use this time machine to travel 10 years into the future. What do you see? What is life like in 2030? While you are there, you look for something to bring back to present time. You choose something made of cloth that will help you tell a story of what life is like 10 years in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this assignment, you are to create an encoded cloth that communicates something essential about you and\/or the world in the year 2030. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You are in full control of what life in the year 2030 looks like. When you imagine the year 2030, it can be “realistic”, fantasy, or anywhere in between. The first part of this assignment is to let an image of the future develop in your imagination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your encoded cloth can be a story quilt, a piece of fashion, or a cloth replica of an object from the future that we have never seen. You may use any technique you deem suitable for constructing your \u201cencoded\u201d cloth including, but not limited to, techniques we will learn in class: sewing, piecing, embroidery, quilting, appliqu\u00e9, and weaving techniques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
