Aspiring fashion designer? Stylist? Just really love clothes? This is the class for you. Fashion Design: The Fundamentals will prepare students for further study in fashion design. This class will involve discussion on what fashion is, as well as drawing. Day 1: 8-head figure Learn to draw a female figure to turn into a "croquis"- a body to trace over and over again to draw clothes on. Also learn how to alter the female figure into a male fashion figure, if students are interested. Discussion will include what fashion is, and who fashion is for, with an emphasis on body positivity. Day 2: Rendering clothes I will choose three looks for students to render. We will discuss best methods for rendering clothes. Discussion will include the purpose of technical drawing, and how this skill would be useful if they decided to pursue a career in fashion. Students will also learn basics of styling and drawing hair. HW: Choose an outfit in your own closet and render it on your croquis. Day 3: Moving Figures Learn how to create motion in our fashion drawings. Students (and teacher) will take turns posing for other students to quickly create a motion sketch with joints. Students will each choose one of their sketches to convert into a croquis. These croquis can be used over and over again in future fashion design classes with me. Want more fashion NOW?

Other Details
Parental Guidance
We will be dealing with the female form. I also include a discussion on how to be body positive, and how the fashion industry is heading towards more realistic body types. We will discuss why the fashion figure looks like it does. My biggest concern with teaching fashion is dealing with adolescents who are self-conscious, but I believe with the right dialogue they may feel more confident after. Occasionally conversation surrounding gender and sexual identify come up due to the nature of the fashion industry.
Supply List
Students will need: -8.5x11" paper or larger. Computer paper is fine. -Pencil/eraser/sharpener -Colored pencils -Markers -Ultra fine permanent marker (like Sharpie)

This September will be my 5th year teaching beginning fashion design at my studio, and I also start our drawing lessons with this unit. Though students may prefer to ultimately download croquis from the internet, I believe it is important to have a foundation in understanding the body before continuing on to draw and design clothes.
