This year, 6th and 7th grade Ursuline girls had the opportunity to participate in a fall and spring elective class. Below are several projects from their elective coursework. Enjoy!
Introduction to Fashion Illustration was taught by Elementary Arts teacher Meghann Rooney. Following the 9 Heads Method of illustrating fashion figures, students created their own three piece collection. They studied how to illustrate textures, patterns, and clothing styles. Before designing their final looks for their collection, students created a mood board to express their inspirations for their designs.
Lauren Benoit taught Dance and Movement to the 6th and 7th grade students. During this class, students learned the basics of ballet, ballroom dancing, and social dancing. Click to play a compilation of skills learned by the fall class and the spring class doing the Earth Day Dance Challenge!
