Wearable Arts.

This is a big week for Wearable Arts. In class, we will be starting our initial design for your piece of art. You will be asked to draw the front, side and back views of your design along with making a list of what materials/resources you will need.

For homework this week you need to discuss your ideas and design with Mum and Dad. Here are some discussion points for you:

* What will your wearable art represent?
* What materials will you use?
* What is the base of the your outfit?
* How will you attach different components of your outfit together?

You might like to get someone at home to help you with the drawing of your design, particularly thinking about the front, back and side views.

Another helpful task this week would be to read over together the newsletter and term overview for the wearable arts programme. This will give you and your parents an idea of the timeline for the term so you can manage your time and be well prepared.

Good Luck!!
