Costume Designs of Colonial Times : Look-Book
For this project, we had to somehow represent the big events in colonial times, or the revolutionary war.. Some of them being French and Indian war, Boston Tea Party, Stamp act, etc. Our take on it was to create a costume design for each event. The costumes are on the right side of the page, and the left side of the page is the materials used for the project and a paragraph telling how it relates to the event it represents. This project really helped me to get a better understanding of all the big events of colonial times. Whenever I need to remember an event, I remember the dress we designed, and it makes me understamn what it was. I found it very interesting how hard life for the colonists was. They had such hard loives, and I think it's very interesting to learn about. I can connect this project to the arts because in fashion, they do things very similar to what we did. They design costumes that appeal to a certain group or audience, and in this case, it was people of colonial times. My only question is, which event during the revolutionary war is considered the most important? I think what we did really well was the costumes. They all relate back to the event, and our book is very organized. Something we could have done better was designed the ouside hard cover of the book.
