This year was the second annual fashion show from recycled materials. Freshmen in my Honors Art 1 classes worked in teams to design an outfit made almost entirely out of recycled materials. Each group member created one aspect of the outfit. The process from start to finish was much like last year's, so if you want more details on how it unfolded step-by-step, please go to last year's Project Greenway... post. Each group built armatures (under-structures) for their outfit, and then attached the surface treatment. For the most part they were not allowed to use hot glue and instead combined other attachment methods such as hand-sewing, paper mache' and stapling. So much creative problem solving occurred in those 6 weeks! Once again the unit culminated with a fashion show in the hallway and we invited other classes to watch and vote for their favorite outfit. It was tons of fun and the students really hammed it up on the runway. Here are some photos of most of the completed garments and outfits (plus a few in-process photos).
