11.03 What is clothing made up of? Good fashion has a combination of the elements and principles of design.

Lines Vertical lines tend to make the body look taller and thinner because they cause the eye to move up and down. Horizontal lines tend to make the body look shorter and wider because they move the eye from side to side. Diagonal lines add movement and make a garment more exciting.

Colors White, bright, and light colors tend to make the body to visually stand out and make the body appear larger (advancing) Dark colors recede or make the body appear smaller.

Textures Texture of fabric refers to the way the fabric looks and feels. Stiff and crisp textures have the ability to make the body appear larger or hiding flaws in a body shape. Rough and bulky textures make the body look larger.

Soft and silky textures slenderize a figure but also reveal a silhouette and are good for those who have few body flaws. Dull textures absorb light and are slenderizing. Shiny Textures reflect light and increase the appearance of the body.

Pattern Patterns should be in proportion to a person’s body size. EX:Large patterns can overwhelm a small frame, while small patterns are lost on a large frame.

Color Wheel Assignment Now it’s your turn to create your own edible color wheel! Using the tubs of PRIMARY color icing, take a small amount of each icing and 12 mini wafers and “paint” a wheel. Place each finished wafer on the color wheel print out. Let me see it before you eat it!
