Teen Academy: Costume Drafting and Sewing

Saturdays
Art Academy of Cincinnati
Conceptualize, plan, and make costumes to enhance a fictional environment crafted by you!
Instructor talks to three teens while they sew clothing.

In this course, students will use their imaginations to conceptualize and create costumes. Students will review and discuss successful costumes worn in film, theatre, TV, and cosplay. The instructor will teach how to practice good craftsmanship, how to properly use a sewing machine and patterns, and how to choose the best materials before constructing a costume by machine and by hand. By the end of this course, students will have learned how to enhance a story with costumes, express their individuality and a message through costumes, and employ proper sewing techniques.

Students interested in this course are encouraged to consider also enrolling in Teen Academy: Digital Game Art.

This course is only for teenagers, ages 13-18.

Required Materials: Colored pencils, drawing pencils, sewing needles, a seem ripper, a thimble, and straight pins. You might consider purchasing a sewing kit that contains all the sewing items. You may also choose to bring in fabric of your choice for the second class session. Sewing machines and thread are provided, but if you’d prefer, you can bring in your own sewing machine for class sessions. A sketchbook will also be provided.
