Let’s make something new and fun to wear!
This week’s challenge is all about clothing. The V&A has lots of clothes, shoes and accessories made by famous designers. They come in all shapes and sizes, colours and textures. They can look like the clothes or shoes you might wear everyday, or nothing like them. Take a look at the design challenges below and step into the shoes (or hat, or trousers) of a designer.
How to do the challenge
There are three ideas below. You can pick one or do all of them – it’s up to you. Use any materials in your home: from drawing a picture, or making a model with things from the recycling bin (make sure they are clean!). Think about who your design is for as well as what it will look like. How will it solve the problem? There are no wrong answers – that’s the joy of getting creative. If you need some help getting started with ideas, there is a short video and an example at the bottom of this page. Also, sometimes talking about your ideas aloud with family members can help you get started. Your ideas can be anything you wear, from an item of clothing, to a hat, trainers, a rucksack or something completely new.
Then show us your designs with the hashtag #LetsMakeWednesdays – we’d love to see them!
And check back next Wednesday for a whole new activity.
