PART FOUR:  ART, AESTHETICS, & DRESS

Picture
This section of the course provides students with one of the greatest challenges of the semester and opportunity to make a positive impact on the community.  To begin the section, students are exposed to dress and the arts.  For example, dress can be found in museums, on the street, on the runway, and in many other formats or venues.  Students consider the issue of sustainability in relation to the design, production, use, and disposal of clothing.  A variety of multimedia resources and video presentations are shared to inspire students to consider where their clothing comes from and what to do with it at the end of the clothing lifecycle.  The elements and principles of design provide a unique experience for students to apply color, line, shape, form, etc to the 3-D form to create a wearable piece of art.  Before the end of this section, students complete part four of the portfolio and submit for review.  Explore the assessments and materials below!

A SERVICE LEARNING FASHION SHOW

RECYCLE REDESIGN

An exciting learning experience for students is the Recycle and Redesign assessment that challenges students to apply the elements and principles of design to the art of creating dress for a 3-D form.  The outcome of the experience is a fashion show that shares the designs and creations of students in the class with the community.  Over 1000 people attend the fashion show each semester.  Can food items are collected for the on-campus food bank, the Student Nutrition Access Center (SNAC).  The assessment also seeks to prepare pre-service family and consumer sciences teachers to become Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) Advisers.  After the Recycle and Redesign experience, FCSE students are more familiar with FCCLA STAR Events (Students Taking Action for Recognition).
