This week’s class developed characters and comic strips, explored meaningful moments of movement and created full color dimensional worlds.

With only four days for our creations, the pressure was on this week in Costume Design. We started out slow with some textile design, mask making, and clay-bead creations.

Needless to say they pulled off some pretty incredible get ups.
