The base of the figure should be 3" from the lower edge of the board. A human figure may be traced to use as a template upon which a costume creation may then be placed. Tracing of a costume outline or silhouette is unacceptable.
The board should be labeled in the following manner:

The student must attach fabric swatches, measuring a minimum of 2"x2", by the top edge of the swatch only to the same board on which the figure is drawn. Mount the swatch so that it may be lifted up and felt in order to evaluate appropriate fabric texture, draping ability, weight, grain, etc.
