As a follow-up to our "American Women & Election" drawing camp,  students will continue to celebrate the American presidential election by drawing a First Lady character at an inaugural ball.  For the first four days of the camp, students will  look at photos and be inspired to draw similar dresses and hairstyles; but by the last day of camp, students should have more confidence to draw a more personalized character.  Students of all drawing abilities are able to enjoy this class as the Travel Girl is drawn using shapes and lines. Prior American political knowledge is not needed.

 Travel Girl is a character created by Teacher MoMo. The Travel Girl travels the world and explores different cultures. This class is one of several drawing classes featuring this character in a unique cultural setting. 

The class will begin with an introduction to the presidential inaugural ball by looking at photos. Basic information about various First Ladies will be given. Next, students will look at specific photos of an inaugural dress and then look at the teacher's drawing of the dress. This will serve as the model for drawing the character. Each student will decide background, color combinations, and accessories for his/her picture in order to have the drawing more personal.  Lastly, students will color the picture using color pencils.

By the end of each class, students will have a beautiful Travel Girl drawing and know more about fashion at the inaugural ball.  As the teacher, I will guide students to create a unique drawing that reflects their personalities and curiosity about Election 2020 and Inauguration 2021.
