Interior Design: In class we will begin to work on an interior design project for our first project. The students will be designing their dream bedroom. We will be looking at the process a professional designer would use to decorate a bedroom. We will talk about working within a budget, choosing colors, fabrics, window treatments, furniture styles. They will learn the design elements and the design principles, then they will create their own bedroom model. They will need a shoebox for the room itself and cereal boxes for making the furniture. Students may bring in the boxes starting any time. Please make sure they put their first and last name and class period on the bottom of the box.
Fashion Design: In fashion design students will be learning how to use the sewing machine. They will be following the steps necessary to complete a garment, in this case, pajama pants. They will purchase the fabric of their choice, measure, cut, and construct the pajama pants. They will be following the pattern instructions in order to learn how to follow step-by-step instructions to correctly complete a project. At the completion of their pajama pants, we will celebrate with "Pajama Day". Students will be allowed to wear their pants to school and we will make pancakes to eat in class.
