weeks of 5/20-6/2/2001 date: time: location: silent time word: vogue intro sentence: I am planting... jewel box: reflective conversation — talking fashion closing: set personal goals for the next two weeks/silent time notes: No other art form influences our daily life as much as fashion. Our culture has been obsessed with fashion since the Elizabethan age and today it is no different. As you gather with your circle for this reflective conversation, let your discussion focus on fashion as an art — present and past. Bring books, clippings and photos of fashions that you feel make an artistic statement and use the topics and questions below to help guide your reflective conversation. Topics and questions: What aesthetic qualities do the pieces have? How is the fashion or garment liberating? What trends stick and why? Practical vs. unpractical Colors Compare trends of different eras How does the hair fit the clothing? Power vs. submissiveness Sexually provocative trends from different eras Motherly clothing styles What subliminal messages can you read from each piece? |
