Greek Costume Assignment

Research an ancient Greek costume a character from the play you are researching might wear on the following pages. 

Based on your research:

1. Create a sketch of your costume in your developmental workbook as it would appear on your character.
2. Create a “pattern” to construct your costume in your developmental workbook. 
3. Use markers or watercolors to color your sketch however you would like your costume to be dyed.  Note: For lighting purposes you may not have your costume be bright white.
