Module 3: Activities
The following activities require you to research and explore. Although they will not be evaluated, they will help you grow and develop as a fashion designer.
 Module 3: Activity 1
Estimated Time: 10-15 minutes
For this activity, you can search your closet, the internet, fashion magazines, or you can go to your favourite department store.
Beginning with the element of line, search for different hemlines, necklines, horizontal and vertical lines. Do they emphasise any particular area of the body? What about messages, do they send off a casual, feminine or professional message?
Now, try to look up each silhouette shape that was covered. What are your thoughts on the different shapes, do they send a different message? Follow the same process and find many garments with varying textures and shapes so that you get used to locating the different design elements in fashion.
Module 3: Activity 2 
Estimated Time: 10-15 minutes
Select one of the fashion styles that was mentioned earlier. You can choose from western, arty, bohemian or chic. After selecting your style, you should study the look via the internet or fashion magazines. Try to locate as many examples as possible so that you can get a grasp on the different looks that are used.
Now, you should combine what you learned about the elements and principles. Which of the principles and elements are used to accentuate the style that you chose? For example, you might find a bright, neon green graffiti style shirt that would fall under the arty style fashion. Alternatively, maybe you found heavily stitched embroidery in the jeans of a western style shirt.
Once you have selected your fashion style, go through the elements and principles and try to find out how the designer utilised them. Can you tell what they were trying to portray in their design?
