Croquis Sketching
Croquis Sketching Croquis sketching is quick and sketchy drawing, usually of a live nude model. Croquis drawings are usually made in a few minutes, after which the model changes pose or leaves and another croquis is drawn. The word croquis comes from French and means simply “sketch“. In clothing design, a croquis is an outline silhouette, for use by a designer.[1] After the initial sketch, a croquis drawing can be used as a foundation for another work of art such as a painting, or it may be used as a work of art itself. Advantages The short duration of the pose benefits models because they do not need to keep still for a long time; this also benefits the artists because it helps them concentrate on the essential elements of the pose, or the most important parts of the drawing. An artist does not have time to draw all the details, so they learn to concentrate on the important elements. Croquis is also a good method of drawing subjects that generally do not stand still and pose, such as insects, animals, and children. Croquis Sketching In Fashion Design In fashion, the term refers to a quick sketch of a figure (typically nine heads tall as this is the accepted proportions for fashion illustration) with a loose drawing of the clothes that are being designed. Often a large number of croquis drawings will be created for one finished look, which is fully drawn and finished. The short duration of the pose benefits models because they do not need to keep still for a long time; this also benefits the artists because it helps them concentrate on the essential elements of the pose, or the most important parts of the drawing. An artist does not have time to draw all the details, so they learn to concentrate on the important elements. Croquis is also a good method of drawing subjects that generally do not stand still and pose, such as insects, animals, and children. References ^ Colussy, M. Kathleen (2001).

Ballet and fashion
Throughout its history, the costume of ballet has influenced and been influenced by fashion. Dance specific clothing used in productions and during practice, such as pointe shes, ballerina skirt, legwarmers, and leotards have been elements of fashion trends. Ballet costume itself has adapted aesthetically over the years, incorporating contemporary fashion trends while also updating fabrics and materials to allow for greater freedom of movement for the dancers. The classic ballerina costume with a tutu and pointe shoes debuted in the 1830s. Ballet costume is marked by the innovation in lightweight materials such as tulle, chiffon, and organza. In the early 20th century, productions by the Russian ballet company Dnce Russes had a large influence on fashion design in Paris. Designers incorporated danceinspired themes in their creations. Designers that have been influenced by dance include Christian Dior, Elsa Schiaparelli, Paul Poiret, Coco Chanel, Jacques Fath, Jeanne Lanvin, Madeleine Vionnet, Molly Goddard, and Simone Rocha. History of Ballet 17th and 18th centuries Ballet costume originated in the 17th–century royal courts of Italy and France, including that of Louis XIV. Early costume designs in the productions were based on court dress, though more extravagant.[1] All of the performers in early ballets were men, with boys performing the female roles en travesti. In the 18th century, as show became professionalized and moved from the courts to the theaters, women joined the ranks of dancers.[2] Traditionally, dancers wore heeled shoes,[3] until the 1730s, when Paris Opera Ballet dancer Marie Camargo was one of the first to wear ballet slippers instead.[4] She also wore midcalf–length skirts and close–fitting drawers.[3] Until the late 18th century, lead dancers in a ballet company often wore masks.[5] The practice was abandoned after dancemaster Jean-Georges…
