#16 Eliana Johnson Summary

 Textiles play a critical role in defining the aesthetics, functionality, and durability of both residential and commercial interiors. In residential spaces, textiles like curtains, upholstery, and rugs contribute to comfort, warmth, and a personalized ambiance, often reflecting individual tastes through patterns, colors, and textures. In contrast, commercial interiors emphasize professionalism and brand identity, with textiles chosen for their ability to create a cohesive and functional environment.

Week #16- Sami Ford

In textiles I learned a lot about fabrics and the textile industry as a whole. I would say that a key takeaway from this course was all the different components that go into a fabric. The fiber content, weave type, coatings, size, and so much more! Learning what fibers and weaves and types of fabrics work for each setting and application was both interesting and extremely useful.   I think that my major Aha moment came when we went on our field trips. Getting to meet Iris Wang was an amazing opportunity ! I love learning how things work, so being able to see the entire process from start to finish of how the Brentano Factory works was a life chang ing opportunity! Starting from Iris Wang's watercolors and drawings and ending with the final fabrics was so cool!

Week #16- Bethany Snyder

   Write and post a summary paragraph outlining the key takeaways from this course and what if any information you will use going forward in your coursework and career. Share any “Aha” moments/learning experiences that you feel other students will benefit from.   This class has been really helpful and I can already see how it’ll benefit me in the future. The part that will stick with me the most is learning about the different fabric types and what they’re best used for. The textiles binder was super helpful because I could actually see and feel all the different fabrics, which made everything a lot easier to understand. My biggest "Aha" moment was when we visited Brentano. It was such a great experience and gave me a better understanding of how the textiles industry works. I think other students would benefit from this experience too because it was so eye-opening and gave us real-world insight into the industry.
