Day 2 at FIT

Today in life drawing, we learned about legs and feet and how to draw them. Professor gave us a health class lesson on how the bones and muscles work together, before he taught us to draw them. When I draw, the whole world melts away and it's just me, the pencil, and the model. 

I couldn't get the facial features right^^

In Fashion Merchandising and Trend Spotting, we had a little project to do. We had to pick a celebrity who set a trend or a fad and give them a new idea of a style/wardrobe. I chose Bella Thorn because she wears a lot of of floral headpieces. So, I thought she would like to try floral incorporated into her clothing as well. Check it out:

Also in Fashion Merchandising and Trend Spotting, we learned what the mysterious project is. There are four companies in our class -mine is called Jeaba- and each company must forecast upcoming trends for 2015! That's a long time! It's going to be really hard! And we have to base it on a one natural element- "fire" for team Jeaba. At the end of class, we went to the museum at FIT.  At the museum, they had a Retrospect exhibit that was really cool because you got to see how trends from along time ago came back in over time.

Day 1 at FIT

Today was so much fun! In life drawing, I learned that all figures start out with basic  outlines like ovals, circles, rectangles, and lines. I also drew my first actual sketch! 

It's not as good as it could be, but it was my first time, so yeah. They had a girl come in and model for us to draw. She stood still for twenty minutes!! She only blinked and breathed! It was soo much fun!

In fashion merchandising and trend spotting, we learned about fads, trends, classics, and the fashion cycle. We have this mysterious project we will do tomorrow. All we know is we have to bring in two black illustration boards, and twenty paint color swatches. Any guesses? Comment bellow.
