CAMP DETAILS

In the morning, learn how to use a pattern and sew a custom skirt!

This is a brand new pattern we’re excited to try out, featuring a cute ruffled elastic waistband for comfort, optional patch pockets, and optional belt loops and belt.

Choose from a huge selection of colorful and stylish cotton fabrics for your skirt. You can even add lace or pompom trim to the bottom hem if you like!

In the afternoon, students will learn how to draw the industry standard 9-head figure with accurate proportions in order to create realistic fashion illustrations.

Each day we will focus on something new, starting with areas that give most artists trouble: face proportions, hands, and feet (in fabulous shoes of course!), as well as drawing different poses.

Then, learn how to draw all kinds of wonderful outfits with tips for making fabric look realistic. No more triangle skirts!

On Friday, combine everything you’ve learned to create your very own Designer Collection.

Look through reference books and the latest fashion magazines to inspire you to design your own outfits and accessories, and practice your coloring skills with light and shadow in order to  really make your drawing come to life.

We’ll use premium colored pencils and alcohol-based markers to make our drawings pop!

We will also practice sharing our work in a group and giving and accepting feedback, which is an important part of being an artist. We will use these constructive comments to get new ideas and find ways to improve our art.

This is going to be so much fun!
