Email: amy.berry@jefferson.kyschools.us

This course is designed to give students the tools and understanding of how to survive in a costume shop.  They will learn the layout of a shop, the basic construction techniques, and the tools needed in costume construction.  

GRADING:

Midterm & Final

There will be a midterm and a final during the class.  The tentative dates are on the calendar.  Both are comprehensive; meaning they will cover all aspects of the class, including reading assignments.

Project

There will be one final construction project. You will need TWO fat quarters (of your choosing) for this project.

Assignments

There will be at least one assignment per week, covering what we have learned in that week.  You will receive instructions about the assignment at the beginning of every week.  The assignments have varied due dates (any large assignments are listed on the calendar).  The due dates will be posted on the board as they arrive.

Notebook

As with other D&P classes, you will be required to keep a clean, neat and organized notebook.  This must be a 3 ring binder in which you will keep: Syllabus / Handouts; Class Notes; Graded Assignments; and Tests & Quizzes.  Each of these sections should have dividers labeled as such. The dates on the calendar for reading due mean all pages in that section of the workbook must be complete prior to class.

Quizzes

You will have a quiz every Friday covering class lectures, reading, and assignments.  There will be times when a pop quiz is given in class during the week covering reading material (you should be prepared for one after every reading assignment).
