English term or phrase: dark art of pattern cutting

He went to study the dark art of pattern cutting.
- za 'dark art' nalazim da se ili ne prevodi, ili 'mračna umjetnost'
- za 'pattern cutting' - 'izrezivanje krojeva', što mi se s obzirom da se radi o modi/tekstilu čini ok;
jel to 'dark cutting' onda u prenesenom značenju, ili postoji baš taj naziv, a da se odnosi na umjetnost izrezivnaja krojeva?
Molim unesite odgovor za points, a ne samo komentar. Hvala!

tajanstvena vještina izrezivanja krojeva

Explanation:
Početniku u krojenju i šivenju mnoštvo linija i zpecifičnih oznaka na krojevima zaista može izgledati kao nešto tajanstveno, teško dokučivo, pa dok se na uvježba uistinu je to "tajanstvena vještina". Čini mi se da je to najpribližnije datom i da nema veze ni sa mračnjaštvom niti sa umjetnošću.
I riječ dark i riječ art imaju mnoštvo značenja, a ja bih rekla da su ovdje relevantna ova:
dark = secret; Synonyms: Obscure, …, dim, nebulous, shrouded in mystery; opaque, dense; undiscernible; …
art = A superior skill that you can learn by study and practice and observation. Synonyms: skill, …; technicality, …; practical knowledge, technical knowledge

mračna umjetnost izrezivanja krojeva

Explanation:
Sve ste lijepo objasnili.

Mislim da nema nikakvog skrivenog značenja, tj. da je u pitanju slobodni izražaj autora teksta.

Na Internetu nema naznaka da bi mogao postojati neki poseban umjetnički pravac izrezivanja krojeva koji bi se zvao „dark art“.

Asker: Jesam lijepo objasnila; ali značenje je zapravo preneseno; a 'dark art' pojam za sebe; pogledajte na google-u pod slike 'dark art'; anyway, hvala!

6 hrs confidence:

dark art

Explanation:
Primarily a product of the 20th Century, dark art is an art style defined as that being "dark" or unsettling in nature. Called and classified under many names such at gothic, horror, metaphysical, nightmarish, and disturbing, it is actually a culmination of techniques and styles. It has been presented in many forms by many artists, illustrators and film-makers. It continues to grow in popularity as a part of the horror genre and gothic, music & publishing culture. Today, it a part of our mainstream culture, crossing over into multiple mediums including advertising, television, film, and marketing. While it has roots in horror, it has been presented in collage, surrealism, abstract, motion graphics, grunge, expressionism, and largely digital art.

Znam da ovo nije odgovor, ali možda pomogne. Ja bih ostavila "dark art".
