Regency Film Costume Class Syllabus

Below is the week-by-week list of films we'll be viewing and critiquing. You will need to set aside a folder on your computer into which you'll save images that you find in your "online treasure hunt" as you seek original garments for comparison purposes. You'll also want a physical notebook to use to jot down your notes as you watch these films. You'll be given several objectives at the beginning of each week and will have until the following weekend to complete your viewing of the film and post your findings in the class message board. You do not need to be skilled at drawing to take this class, but it does help to sketch things as you see them -- use that "pause" button (screen caps are also a super idea)!
