Fashion Through the Decades

  Another of my classes is Fashion through the decades. 
We watched a video and had to choose 1 or 2 decades - which is 10 years.
I'm working with my friend Ciara.
The decades we chose were the 1920s, which is really iconic to me - loose dresses, headwear with feathers, short bobs, lots, and lots of pearls, and beaded necklaces.
Ciara likes the 1940s - Blouses, skirts, hair rolls, and hats. This year reminded me of old-world War II movies.
Another decade that looked like EVERYONE would know which year it was that we didn't choose- the 1980s! Yes, very bright colors and LOTS and LOTS of hairspray for their teased hair (teased hair creates the hairstyle of bedhead). 
But there was one decade I really liked was the 70s for their bright tie-dye.
So our task was to create a bag and hat from the 1915s - to the present day.
Here are some sketches I drew:
1920s & 1940s








Fibonacci

  One of my classes in Campion that I chose was Maths in Nature. I chose this class because wanted to combine something I LOVED(art) and one I didn't love so much(maths). 

Fibonacci is a mathematical sequence that is infinite - spiral. Before Maths in Nature, I had already come across Fibonacci in a book called "The Miscalculations of Lightning" by Stacey McAnulty. It's about a girl who got struck by lightning and is a math genius. 
In the end, it talks about Pi and Fibonacci. 

This is the sequence of Fibonacci: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89... and on and on. You get the sequence by adding the last 2 numbers.
