Projects A & B & C
PROJECT A:
Students design an outfit based on a subject they are currently learning about in school (ex: a fashion inspired by the Industrial Revolution or by global warming/climate change). Students will need to use ratio/scale to create three sizes of their design; one on a 8 ½ X 11 sheet of paper, one on a 11 X 17 and one on a size of their choosing. On the student-chosen size print, the student can focus on one particular aspect of the design (a hat? just the shirt?). Prints on fabric can be hard to tackle, unless the student can simplify the pattern and figure out the scale.
MATERIALS NEEDED: fashion model drawing (for students with advanced art skills: encourage them to draw their own model as long as correct scale is used), colored pencils, several sizes of paper.
PROJECT B:
Students learn basic hand-sewing techniques to create the fashion they designed in Project 1.
MATERIALS NEEDED: needle and thread (or machine for students who are capable and have basic knowledge of sewing), fabric of student’s choice (or other material! I’ve had some students use some interesting recycled objects to create artistic fashion designs), a mannequin model.
PROJECT C;
Students will develop a new brand of clothing. First, identify the target consumer and the style of clothing. Create a brand name with labels, hangtags and marketing materials. Identify the price range and locations where you will sell the brand. You may use a story board to present your new fashions.
