Where it all began

Marc Chagall was born Moishe Shagall in a Lithuanian Jewish Hassidicfamily in Liozna,[10] near the city of Vitebsk (Belarus, then part of the Russian Empire) in 1887. He was the eldest of nine children. His parents were humble merchants, very religious with no art in their home. At the time of his birth, Vitebsk's population was about 66,000, with half the population being Jewish. It was a picturesque city of churches and synagogues. As the city was built mostly of wood, little of it survived years of occupation and destruction during World War II. Most of the local Jews perished in the Vitebsk Ghetto massacre of October 1941.

Hassidic Roots—a recurring dream

At the age of 57 while living in the United States, Chagall published an open letter entitled, "To My City Vitebsk“

Why? Why did I leave you many years ago? ....You thought: "I can see, I am etched in the boy's heart, but he is still 'flying,' he is still striving to take off, he has 'wind' in his head." ... I did not live with you, but I didn't have one single painting that didn't breathe with your spirit and reflection.

An Artist’s Dream

First in Russia and then again in the United States, Chagall was commissioned to create the sets and costumes for ballets and operas—an artist’s dream! He created an entire dreamworld that was animatedby music and dance. For dreams are not static; they fly, float and sing. To my mind, this is the pinnacle of Chagall’s magic.

Assignment: Design a Costume

• Design a costume for yourself, a favorite character from a book, your child or grandchild

• Capture the inner spirit of the character and magnify it

• Exaggerate--Imagine that the costume telegraphs the essence of the character from 30 feet away

• Think about texture and movement—How will the costume move? What will it feel like? How will the wearer breathe and see?

• Do a series of sketches or watercolors

• Make the costume if you are inspired to do so!
