Part 1: Design ideas As you look at these designs, answer

these questions:1. What colors do you see for the different

characters?2. What is the footwear like?3. Pick three costumes. What animals do

they represent, and what is an adjective that describes the costume?

Part 2: SkillsHow to create a costume sketch

(You will do 2 sketches yourself) Draw first with pencil, then color

with colored pencil or crayon You MUST use color (pencil is not

a color, leaving something white is not a color – color it white if you want it white).

Your designs MUST have hair. You may draw in a face if you

want, but it is not required.


Part 2: SkillsHow to create a costumes(You will create 4 costumes as a group) Cut off the mouth and jaw piece of old Halloween masks. Paint and decorate. Use felt and fleece to make rectangular throw-on tunics. For a short tunic, use

one yard of 45 inch material. Fold in half, then fold again. Cut a 3-inch cut for the head. Apply glue around the opening, if you wish. Add belts and sashes. (A brown tunic with a tail could suggest a forest animal, a yellow tunic with a paper duck bill could suggest a duck, etc.)

Baseball or soccer pants make great costuming pieces. Feathers or other objects on baseball hats, visors, or headbands create a

multitude of characters. Vests can be used for any character and are easy to sew by hand. Use layers of t-shirts as below:

Let the actor put them on in the order you request; three or four complimentary or contrasting colors work well.

With scissors, cut the first t-shirt short and with an uneven edge. Cut the next layer a little longer echoing the edge of the first t-shirt. Cut the third layer even longer. It could be low on one side and high on the other. With other t-shirts the edges can be cut into fringe, the sleeves cut out, the neck

enlarged, holes cut open to reveal skin or a different colored t-shirt underneath. Turn the t-shirt inside out to cover the logos. Cut the label off.
