Y7-9 Art – Term 3 Week 7

We have completed our cup carrier design!

Then we moved on to the exciting world of fashion design. In this phase of the course, we have started exploring different types of fashion design and delved into the fundamental principles and elements that shape this creative field.

To begin our journey into fashion design, we discussed the basic principles that govern this art form. These principles include proportion, balance, rhythm, emphasis, and harmony. We explored how these principles play a crucial role in creating visually appealing and well-balanced fashion designs. Students were encouraged to analyze and understand how these principles are applied in various garments and fashion collections. In addition to the principles, we also explored the essential elements of fashion design. These elements include color, line, shape, texture, and pattern.

We discussed how each element contributes to the overall aesthetic and visual impact of a fashion design. Students had the opportunity to examine different fashion pieces, analyze the use of elements, and identify how they influence the overall design concept. Throughout our discussions, we also highlighted the importance of creativity and innovation in fashion design. Some students started sketching their fashion designs, using their observation skills. They will sketch the models’ fashion designs, relying on their observation skills to capture the essence of their envisioned looks.
