The learning goal for the beginning fashion class, is to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the fundamental elements of design and how they relate specifically to the world of fashion. By the end of the course, students should be able to: Identify and differentiate various colors, understand color theory, and analyze the psychological and emotional impact of colors in fashion. Recognize different types of lines in fashion design and understand how they can influence the overall appearance and mood of a garment. Appreciate the importance of texture in fashion and its role in creating visual interest, depth, and tactile appeal in clothing and accessories. Understand the significance of shape in fashion design and how different silhouettes can flatter different body types and convey various fashion statements. Apply their knowledge of color, line, texture, and shape to create cohesive and aesthetically pleasing fashion ensembles and outfits. Explore various fashion styles and aesthetics to discover their own personal style preferences. Gain exposure to historical and contemporary fashion designs, understanding how designers have utilized color, line, texture, and shape to make their creations unique and iconic. Develop basic fashion sketching skills to visually represent design ideas incorporating the elements of color, line, texture, and shape. Engage in hands-on exercises and projects that involve selecting fabrics, combining colors and shapes, and experimenting with textures to create fashion pieces. Reflect on the significance of creativity and innovation in fashion design and how the elements of design can be used to push boundaries and challenge conventional norms. By achieving these learning goals, students will have a solid foundation in the fundamental elements of fashion design, allowing them to pursue further studies in the field or explore their creativity in designing their own unique fashion pieces.

I am happy to provide a grade for this class if students are needing credit for school.
A project supply list will be provided prior to the first week of class. I will also add a supply list to each lesson.

Some optional supplies include fashion outlines that can be printed, fashion magazines, craft glue, and items to be used for the texture project. These items can be anything like pasta noodles, dollar store flower petals, real flower petals, leaves, yarn, paper clips, etc.
