The Runway - Ongoing Fashion Design Club: Drawing and Designing Fashion

Class Experience
This ongoing fashion design club. Each week we will explore different types of fashion design, from high fashion, street wear, costumes, retro fashion and more! 

Learners will explore drawing different fashion poses -- through step by step instruction we will use pencil to draw figures using proportion techniques.. We will explore and discuss fashion styles. Learners will work on their drawing and watercolor techniques. This ongoing class is drawing and painting based, students are welcome to bring other drawing and color materials to use as well. Learners are encouraged to think outside of the box and explore new ways of making their ideas come to life.
