Class Experience

Draw fashion for goddesses from mythologies all over the world! 
Draw fashion for goddesses around the world for different situations, such as a ball or a slumber party. Students will take into account the goddess' abilities, associated colors, place of origin, and associated stories. 

It's okay if students don't know a lot about the goddess. I will show pictures and give a rundown of their looks, personality, abilities, and any relevant stories. We'll chat about them in class and look at some pictures. Additionally, there will be a document in the classroom available prior to each class that includes some information, stories, and pictures about each goddess. 


This is a great class for those interested in drawing fashion to learn to design for "the customer"- taking into account their wants and needs. Students do not need any prior fashion experience, but they might like to take Fashion 101 to learn the basics of fashion design here: https://outschool.com/classes/4dd1fa8b-bdf2-4b65-bc3e-feecc176473d?sectionUid=9b25ee03-b207-4315-aa6d-4906be5f7a3b#usgnLONkoY

I have been teaching fashion design for over 6 years. I love to use established characters to help guide fashion, so it's like a mix of costume design and designing for a customer. My husband and fellow Outschool teacher actually developed "persona cards" for many goddesses and I have done this project many times with students in person. It's a fun way to learn a little bit about different mythologies.
