Visual Arts 1st ESO: HALLOWEEN - Project and 1) Typography

We are going to start the first project inspired in Halloween 👻

Remember the Lady Gaga's project I showed you in class, with several fashion designs inspired in oriental ideas.

We are going to do something similar with 3 different fashion designs inspired in Halloween.

Steps you have to follow:

- First of all, think about a videogame character or a singer you like.

- Then you have to look for information about the character/singer. Look for photos where you can see what the singer usually wears, the clothes he/she wears, ideas... Download the photos and keep them in your mobile phone or print them.

- At last, think about Halloween ideas. Write down all the ideas you have or look for photos / videos related to Halloween. They can be colors, forms, textures, objects, make-up, videoclips, cinema... Download the photos and keep them in your mobile phone or print them.

*Start taking notes of all the ideas above you have, ypou will need them later.
