Guided Instruction

Day 1

Greek Mythology: Gods, Drama, and Flying Sandals

Greek mythology was like a giant soap opera with superpowers. The gods lived on Mount Olympus, caused chaos for fun, and had very complicated family trees (spoiler: everyone’s related… somehow).

Zeus threw lightning and dated everyone.
Hera got mad about it. A lot.
Poseidon stirred up storms because he felt left out.
Athena, Apollo, Artemis, and crew tried to keep it classy… mostly.

Mortals? Constantly getting turned into animals, statues, or constellations for doing something mildly annoying.

Basically: drama, monsters, magical weapons, and zero chill.

Directions

Now that you've learned about the history of hoodies and some elements that go into designing them, it's time to create your own! But rather than designing one for yourself, you're going to create one for a Greek god!

There are four elements that typically make up hoodie designs:

1. Color 2. Images 3. Patterns 4. Text

It's your job to make design choices based on what you research about your chosen god or goddess. When choosing colors, it can be helpful to think about color psychology. According to experts, certain colors represent different feelings, moods, and behaviors, and you can use this knowledge to choose colors that will best represent your god or goddess.

Before you begin designing your hoodie, brainstorm some potential colors, images, patterns, and text that would represent different facts, ideas, or events related to your Greek god or goddess by filling out the planning sheet. See below for hoodie requirements. Once you have designed your hoodie, you will write a summary detailing the design elements you chose to include, as well as an explanation for why each one makes sense for your god or goddess.
