The first few days of class have gone by so fast! I’m thrilled with everything I’ve been working on so far. Making a trip into the city everyday is becoming a routine I will miss so much when it’s over!

One of the projects that I am working on right now is the Paper Couture project. This project includes drawing a fashion figure and then going through magazines to find images, textures, patterns, or anything of the sort to create a cut out outfit for the drawing. It has helped me develop my drawing skills further, especially when it comes to drawing people. I have really been loving this project and am surprised by all of the amazing things everyone in my class has come up with! All of the work that I have been doing so far is perfect to add to my portfolio.

Also, we have begun looking for mood images to add to our fashion journals. I have come up with a few ideas, and plan on continuing this. In addition, my knowledge and skill has definitely improved so far. Like I mentioned, my drawing skills are improving, and my knowledge of different designers is growing, as well. Every day I learn so much from my professor about tons of different designers, many of which I have never heard of before. 

The most exciting thing about my class is how fun all of the projects are so far, and how much they let me explore my creativity. I’m definitely looking forward to learning more!

How were your first few days of class?

Until next time!
