In this fun and stylish course, students will learn about fashion design by creating their own paper doll fashion collection. We will talk about fashion history and learn about some of the most Influential Fashion Designers of all time. Together we will analyze the most iconic garments created by world-recognized designers - Coco Chanel, Alexander McQueen, Valentino, Christian Dior, Calvin Klein, and Iris van Herpen and others. Each day we will take one great designer and create fashion outfits for paper dolls by using the fashion elements and styles of this designer. I will provide 10 paper dolls that can be printed at home before the class. Week of Nov 11-15: Topic - Coco Chanel. Little black dress, tweed suit, Karl Lagerfeld. Week of Nov 18-22: Topic - Alexander McQueen. Spray painted dress, Iconic armadillo boots, oyster dress. Week of Nov 25-29: Topic - Valentino. "Valentino Red", chic and sophisticated dresses.

Futurism, new technology in traditional Haute Couture. Week of Dec 23-27: - Giorgio Armani. Class, quality, and exclusivity. Week of Dec-Jan 30-03: - Ralph Lauren. American classics, polo shirts. Week of Jan 06-10: - Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana. Mediterranean style, La Dolce Vita. Let's imagine ourselves to be fashion designers and create a spectacular Couture Fashion Collection for the runaway show! And who knows, maybe YOU will be the next famous designer! My main principle - there are no mistakes and wrong decisions in the creative process! Everyone, even the smallest artist, has his own path. In my classes, I will not ask students to mindlessly repeat after me. I will show them step by step example so students can see different options, and will be able to bring their personal touches and ideas into their artwork.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Master's Degree from Tyumen State University
My name is Elena Galindo, and I am a children's book illustrator specializing in creating fun and whimsical digital illustrations in a playful and adorable style. I am excited to introduce myself and share a little bit about me with you.
I have been creating illustrations that bring stories to life with lively characters, cute and cheeky animals, and colorful landscapes. Children are my favorite audience, as they inspire and motivate me to create illustrations that can spark their imagination and ignite their curiosity.
In addition to creating illustrations, I also teach digital art to children. This has given me valuable insight into what children are interested in and what captures their attention. I am always looking for new ways to engage children with my illustrations
I have a bachelor’s and master's degree in Human Resources with a large portion being focused on training and development. I have also taken several art courses in painting techniques. Additionally, as a mother of two, I enjoy teaching my kids about art and languages. I show them the importance of cultural diversity and multicultural integration.
My philosophy is that everyone has the potential to be great. The importance is to guide students with fun and interactive courses to keep their focus on the task at hand.
I would love to be your paintbrush buddy and I hope to see you in my classes. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me and I will be happy to help.Reviews
