There's a lot more to being a designer than you might think. ]]> 2017-12-08 00:33:14 UTC https://padlet.com/10505160/1bt2olndqcgn/wish/214362984 10505160 https://padlet.com/10505160/1bt2olndqcgn/wish/214363153 For this unit, you will choose a Broadway show to design the costumes for. This show can be any show that is past or present. 

Start to think outside of the box. Don't create a mold of what has already been created. What other color palette choices can you use for the characters? What other types of clothes would be just as effective for the character? 

This project will be completed in phases:

Phase 1: The Design. You will present 3 drawings of the costume designs for 3 characters of your chosen show.

Phase 2: The Build. You will create 1 costume from your designs.

Phase 3. The Presentation. You will present your costume creation to the producers (the class) and talk about why you chose the show you did, the costume you did, and the thought process that went into your specific design for that character. 

Don't get behind on this project. You will have 3 weeks to complete this assignment. ]]> 2017-12-08 00:34:46 UTC https://padlet.com/10505160/1bt2olndqcgn/wish/214363153 10505160 https://padlet.com/10505160/1bt2olndqcgn/wish/214363662 Do these statistics surprise you?

1. Every costume includes hand painted designs and beading. 
2. Costumes pieces come from Vienna, India, China, as well as many other countries around the world. 
3. There are 1,500 diamonds on a single pair of "Friend Like Me" gold pants. 
4. The beading on the Genie's costume is all done by hand. 
5. There are more than 300 costumes in the show.
