Or, check out this great article from the Horry Independent as your favorite PDF. I have also included the brochure that one of Mrs Baker's students designed for the fashion show
My students worked together to design costumes based off of Medieval fashions while maintaining a balance team work and problem solving.
The film shows the BWMS Medieval Fashion Show at Black Water Middle School as a showcase of work from my seventh grade art students.There are also photomontages of the groups workng together to form their costumes.
This video is a master collection from all of the footage of IPad, Flips and the digital cameras to help give some insight of all the work involved in this project. This is the best of the best.
I have been documentating my students' progress for several weeks, so I have a FEW of those pics arranged into a Picasa slideshow below:
I also have a combined these pics into a Picasa movie
I also have created an embeddable lesson plan that you can use with your students. It basically utilizes teamwork and problem solving to create wearable works of art.
And here are just a few other pics that you can chek out in the image gallery
In the past, I have had my students draw contour sketches of bodies and fill them in, but the students seem to find it more engaging when they can do a life size sketch and fill in a total of twenty-four patterns inside the body. Unfortunately, I was low on paint this year to let them color in bodies.
There were also a few students that were able to bring in their own white t-shirt that could by tie dyed, and show off inspiration of 1960's culture. All the while listening to the greatest hits of the 1960's such as The Beatles, The Beach Boys and Motown.
You can check out the lesson plan here, whether attached as a PPT file (modified from a great lesson I found on the Incredible Art Department) or you can view the embedded Google Docs presentation as well:
FINALLY, check out some of their completed works below
