農曆新年時尚藝術：越南、中國、馬來西亞、泰國和韓國的服飾

Lunar New Year is a popular celebration in many countries in Asia. It is a time to be with family, eat delicious food and wear traditional clothing. In this class we will draw our Travel Girl character in the traditional clothing of five  countries that celebrate this holiday. The five Asian countries are China, South Korea, Thailand, Vietnam and Malaysia. I have visited all of these countries and enjoyed learning about the rich culture of each one.

 Travel Girl is a character created by Teacher MoMo. The Travel Girl travels the world and explores different culture. In each class, Travel Girl is featured in a unique cultural setting. 

The class will begin with a 5-10 minute introduction of the country. Next, students will look at the sample drawing that the teacher has created prior to class. This will serve as the model for drawing a personalized character. Each student will decide patterns, color combinations, and facial features. By the end of the 45-minute class, students will have a beautiful drawing. As the teacher, I will guide students to create a unique drawing that reflects their personalities.

With the finished drawing, students can put it on card stock paper and make a wonderful greting card to give to a special person.
