Description
Class Experience

Week of January 3rd: The Fabric of Civilization. Week of...
The students will learn about clothing from the early Egyptian Period, up until present day.
I am college degreed with a (BS) Bachelor of Science Degree, in Interdisciplinary Studies. I also have an (AA) Associates Degree in Fashion Merchandising and Fashion Design. And I design clothing as well.
The assigned homework will be to read chapters on clothing, from the books I've assigned them to read. I will have the learners, sketch their own design for their project. The homework for the learners, will only be to read assigned chapters, and they are short chapters, so I would say about 1 to 2 hours per week. They will be expected to read as many pages as there are in the chapter.
The learners will only need to purchase paper and pens, for note taking, a sketch pad for drawing their designs and 2 books. I will let them know which books to buy when the class begins.
The learners progress will be assessed by a written report on fashion, that I will assign as well as on notes, they've taken during the class discussion from the chapters, they've read from the assigned books. And, I will have them present their fashion sketches as a grade.
3 hours 50 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 1 - 2 hours per week outside of class.
Books on "Fashion" is all that I require, which can be found in bookstores online. And I will let them know which books to order, when the class gets underway.
