Day 1
FASHION FIGURES (CROQUIS)
Students will learn how to accurately build a 9-head croquis (a figure template that they can use to put clothes on), find harmonious proportions, and draw a stylized fashion figure from two perspectives - front and side. They will learn how to adjust the proportions to form a variety of body types to advocate the importance of having a positive body image of oneself.

Day 2
FASHION POSES
Students will learn how the body moves and balance the body using the Plumb Line. They will draw both standing and walking poses. They will use light and dark tones to illustrate body volumes. Class will explore the shades of skin and hair colors.  We will open a discussion on the global progress on diversity and cultural acceptance in the fashion industry.

Day 3
FABRICS
Students will learn how to draw various textures of fabrics with some fundamental sketching and blending techniques. They will create the illusion of 3-D volume and density on a 2-D paper. They will learn how to render the lightness of transparent chiffon and stiff cotton, the luster of smooth leather, the softness of knitwear and wool, and the texture of fluffy fur.
