DB 7: Costume Designs
Costume Designs: Choose a song from the musical you watched to write your review. Print the lyrics and analyze the piece. Break down the meaning, what is its purpose in the show, how does it forward the story, share emotion, could it stand alone as a monologue…? Keeping those details in mind, how would you design the costume of one of the characters performing the song?
What colors match the tone, what style is right for the time period, hair, shoes, accessories…If the character is moving or dancing how will the costume help them or prevent them from moving fluidly. Can they breathe well to support the song? How will the lighting effect the color/texture? All these considerations and more go into a costume design. You may free draw, use magazine cut outs or create your design using the computer. Design templates are available on BB as well. Explain your choices in the body of the post. Once completed take a pic and post to DB 7.
Take a look at the samples on The Open Lab in “Student Showcase”

We are close to the mid term, if you are behind on assignments now is a great time to get caught up. Please let me know how I can best support you.
