First off, I’d like to apologize to everyone for my lack of a post last week. Super-busy with normal school and stuff like that.<\/p>\n

Secondly, I found my portfolio. My record of\u00a0everything<\/strong> I’ve done since\u00a0before<\/em> I started coming to Precollege courses. It’s great to be able to look back on it and reflect on everything I’ve done… I’ve gotten so much better!<\/p>\n

It’s not bad to start with, but looking back on it, the heads are way out of proportion, as well as hands\/feet…and the lack of faces.<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n

The first course I took was draping. I can’t seem to find any photos from the class itself. However, I did make this dress (below) with skills I learned in that class.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
I had Professor Gardner as my teacher. She taught me proper proportions, and introduced me to markers.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Between the first and second level drawing classes, I took sewing over the summer. Again, I can’t find photos (I’ll try to scrounge some up and then update this post xD)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
I had Professor Urena who had me practice my croquis. This was Fall 2011. Each class I drew a new figure before break, and after break I added the clothes.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
This was the first time I put together a cohesive collection (more than 3 pieces) with a recurring theme. This was based off the NYC subways, and my personal views of how beauty can be found in the least obvious places. The teacher was Professor King, and I learned a lot from her.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Then I took the summer off (I had another program and two weeks of camps), practiced my faces, and came back for FIT.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
This is from the course I’m in right now, Anatomy of Fashion<\/em> with Professor Uvenio. I feel like my illustrations have steadily improved with each drawing course dramatically.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Recently, I made a fanpage on Facebook to track my improvements and also to help promote my little business that I started up. The link to the page is here: http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/EmilyDanaOriginals<\/p>\n

So go check it out! There’s lots more up on there and you can really see an improvement in my work. These classes are\u00a0absolutely\u00a0amazing and a great way to get better.<\/p>\n

Hugs,<\/p>\n
