This was a paper project for my Costume Design class. I thoroughly enjoyed mixing my love for costumes and opera in this project. Hope you enjoy the end result!

The Emperor's New Clothes

For class we were asked to design a children's musical of "The Emperor's New Clothes." We each chose a children's book to base our illustrations on.  I chose Eve Tharlet's version of the same fairy tale.  I loved the stubby little people and the warm colors.

The Royal Family

The swindlers who trick the King

The Minister of Recreation

The King parading about in his underwear

That's the start of my designs. I need to scan in my other renderings. The ministers were very fun to do.  It was fun to do a children's musical where things were cute, simple, and obvious.  I can't wait to show you!
