Garbage Bag Costume Design



  1. Before attempting this activity, I thought the most difficult part to accomplish would be...actually making a costume out of trash bags and toilet tissue. At first I thought we would just design a costume and that's it. With the materials we had , we really had to be creative and think outside of the box to create a costume.
  2. After completing it, I now think the most difficult part to accomplish was...getting what we had on a paper physically on somebody.We wanted our costume to be fitted and to have colors and not be bland. We did our best and , in my opinion , it came out pretty descent.
  3. The most important thing I learned from this activity is...always look at things from a different perspective. Stretch your mind to think in other ways. Be creative , and everything you put together is a masterpiece .
  4. The most surprising or interesting thing I learned from this activity is...how many good looking costumes you can make with balloons , trash bags , tape , and hangers. Mrs.Gittings showed us a couple of desings online. They were very unique and different. I never would've even thought about making a dress out of balloons. I found that really interesting.
  5. The aspect of my work on this activity that I am most satisfied with is...working together. Working together with friends and putting our minds together to create this design. We put all our differences aside and worked as a team and we had fun while woring together .
  6. The aspect of my work on this activity that I am least satisfied with is...not winning :/ . But that doesn't matter . My group won in my mind and that counts for something.

Leonardo DiCaprio

Leonardo DiCaprio is a world recognized actor who has played in more than twenty-five well known movies. Some of these movies include Romeo & Juliet, and the beloved Titanic. DiCaprio grew up with his mother who worked several jobs trying her best to support him. This however, didn't stop him from reaching his potential. He finished four years of college and started his career doing television commercials. I admire how through his trials growing up he still chased after and focused on his dream. After appearing in television commercials, DiCaprio made it big when he played Romeo, in the Shakespearean play Romeo & Juliet. He skyrocketed tremendously in this film landing him a spot in the Entertainment Award winning Titanic, which I believe we all can agree was a phenomenal movie. I love Leonardo in Romeo & Juliet however, Titanic was definitely the deal breaker for me. Leonardo DiCaprio can absolutely capture an audience whether the movie's an exciting thriller or hopeless romantic. He has played different types of films, from ones that are more serious and "on the edge of your seat" or sweet and sobby, that's why fans world wide love his movies. Leonardo DiCaprio has played in other films I've loved such as Shutter Island, Inception and J. Edgar. In Shutter Island, Leonardo played an investigator named Teddy Daniel's who was sent to inspect a psych ward for a missing patient. In the end however, the person who was missing ended up being himself and the whole scenario was designed so that it may cure his brain damage after his family passed away. I thought the twist was incredible and  it definitely left me breathless. He's also been nominated for countless awards. Leonardo DiCaprio has brought so much to his movies and he's an example that dedication and hard work really does pay off.
