THE MANIFESTO IS MUTATING!  IT IS TURNING INTO A WIKI THAT CAN BECOME THE HIVE MIND OF ALL COSTUMERS, FINALLY LIVING UP TO IT'S SLOGAN: "COSTUMERS OF THE WORLD, UNITE!" YOU CAN HELP IN THIS PROCESS BY MOVING PAGES TO THE NEW SITE AT THECOSTUMERSMANIFESTO.COM, HELPING TO EDIT THE PAGES THAT ARE THERE ALREADY, AND ADDING YOUR OWN ORIGINAL INPUT.

Costume Design & Construction

6 Renderings for "Patience"  (10D)

Step 1: Using the data you found in the Historical Research Project incorporate your research into colored designs for 6 of the  characters in Gilbert & Sullivan's Patience.  You need not follow the research slavishly, but the evidence of your sources should be apparent in your drawings.  Then label your drawings something like this:

If you have difficulty drawing figures, you can print out some of the outline sheets below, and do your renderings on these sheets.  Printing the sheet onto cardstock will allow you to use watercolors without having the paper wrinkle.

Another way of Making rendering easier is to make a "Dancing Man": dancingman.gif (15505 bytes)  Make this out of heavy cardstock, connect the pieces with brads as shown in the center, and lay it on your paper to make different poses for your body-outlines.

Whenever you have spare time this semester, teach yourself more about rendering by going to this links page for more lessons.

Step 2:

Scan and post the images you drew to your files section and post a notification on the message board that you have done renderings for this play and would appreciate feedback from the other students.
