10th Grade Family Consumer Sciences Projects (by date, oldest first)

This is a great project for your advanced fashion design students. They can make this mood board at the beginning of the school year so they can be posted around the classroom.

Supplies Needed:

• Poster Board
• Fashion Magazines or computer to search for fashion images and then print out in color
• fabric scraps
• jewels, buttons, ribbon, etc.
• glue guns

This is a great activity for students to do at the beginning of your Fashion Designer Unit. I like to use it as the first step in my Fashion Designer Research Project.

About this Activity

• Student will research various types of information about a particular Fashion Designer.
• The instructions allow them to chose a Fashion Designer of their choice but it needs to be approved by you so that they get a little bit of freedom but your can make sure that who they chose is an appropriate Fashion Designer for research.
• This is also the information I have them research to create a google slides presentation on their Fashion Designer.

Suggested Timeline:

I give my students one class period to get this activity completed.

This product is a digital download.

This project is great for your fashion design students in your entry level class. I usually give my students 10 class days to complete whatever choice they would like to work on from the list. Feel free to give your students whatever timeline fits your lesson plan. I like giving the students choices in case there are students who would like to sketch instead of sewing. No matter what project they choose they are still required to type a paper that discusses the elements and principles of design. Each project has a different set of elements and principles of design that are required for the paper since sometimes it is easier to include certain ones in sewing projects versus sketches.

Prior Knowledge needed:

This project assumes that your class has covered the elements and principles of design but if you have not then feel free to omit that part of the project.

This download includes a rubric as well.

This is a great project to do once you have covered 20th century fashion. Student will create an informational mood board about a decade that you assign to them. The instructions list tasks and specific information that students must include about their particular decade. My students usually get their mood boards completed within 2-3 days, depending on their thoroughness.

Supplies needed:

poster board

glue stick/glue gun

fabric swatches

fashion magazines

various trinkets for students to use to "jazz up" their mood boards

Alternative Application: students could also make their mood board digitally on Canva or google slides.

Rubric is included!

This Look Book Project is great to use at the end of the Elements of Design Unit or it can be a continuous working activity for students to work through as you cover each element throughout your unit.
