Class Experience

US Grade 2 - 5
Beginner Level
This one-time class will be a good trial experience for student who are interested in taking fashion as a new learning topic. The teacher will select one new outfit to teach for every class. There will be no repeat. Students will be encouraged to add their design elements throughout the lesson. The reference picture will be posted under the "Classroom" area before the meeting.

The class will start with basic anatomy, figure and technical drawings techniques in croquis construction.  Students will proceed to learn the design principles, including proportion and color; and the sketching basics of fabric and clothing details. They will then apply such knowledge to properly draw the clothed body.

It is a beginner level class for students who are budding fashionistas and would aspire to be future fashion designers, costume designers or fashion illustrators. Students are encouraged to continue with our full semester fundamentals to advance themselves at higher skill levels.
