My Students

A typical day in my classroom is exciting and new. My high school level students learn, perfect and design their own fashion collections from concept, sketch, pattern to garment culminating in a full industry level fashion show.

Over 100 students per year for many years will utilize this fashion library as a resource to inspire their creativity.

My school and community is extremely supportive of the arts and embraces it's effect on students in their core classes and as a positive vehicle for self expression. My students are of many varied backgrounds that contribute to the diversity of the program and student participation. Many of them aspire to work in the fashion industry and previous graduates have gone on to study at prestigious universities. My students are hard working, motivated, focused and highly creative. Many of them spend their lunchtime or after school time in the fashion classroom expanding their knowledge even when not required.

My Project

My students are constant seekers of knowledge. During the school day my students will use this fashion library to find inspiration, do research for projects and papers, learn about and to improve their sewing, patternmaking and show production skill set. My students love to read fashion/fibers books and therefore improve reading and comprehension by avidly reading books that interest them. This library will remain in the classroom for future students and we hope to add more as time goes by.

Many of my students come from backgrounds that have little to no room or resources for creative expression in the home.

My classroom has become a haven for students to safely express in a positive way what they feel inside. This library will boost the moral of my students letting them know that they and their artistic endeavors matter. Many student who may not be able to attend college or additional education will leave my classroom with a skill set that allows them to earn a living.
