Final images- my partners design...



I feel that i managed to create my partners design really well, i felt confident in what i was doing and i managed to handle the timings well giving myself enough time to add finishing touched, i feel as though i could have added more defined curls into the side of her hair that was voluminous and messy, however she did inform me after the assessment that she was really pleased with the outcome. i think her look works really well and comes across even better in the pictures. I felt as though i was given enough time to prepare myself and be confident in my application of her hairstyle. The design suited her hair well, although she has thin hair once i had backcomb the curls to add lots more volume i was able to create the shape she desired. 
I feel as though i kept my station nice and tidy throughout the assessment and everything was easily accessible to me throughout my application of her hair design. I was really pleased with my application and the outcome of it.

My final images- self evaluation...




These are my final images for a contemporary Elizabethan image, a close up, profile and shoulder length shot. Im really please with the outcome and i feel it worked really well. I really like the texture and shape created in my hair and i think my design was really well suited to my hair and what i could do with it. I feel the headpiece i used added interest and was inspired by the sorts of extravagant and over the top pieces the Elizabethans were seen to wear. This is what made me add such an over the top pieced, i also liked how it added height which was what i was after. However i like how the head piece was a far more contemporary take. 
I feel as though this could have been improved however. I think the shape should have sat more on top of my head rather than towards the back i think it works in the profile image however in the other 2 that are more head on pictures i don't really like the shape its creating i had envisioned something to sit higher on top of the head, i feel in the first 2 images it looks more like its slumped and you can't really get a feel for the shape. Although i do like how the fishtail plait added further interest and contemporary quirks.

My presentation...

These are the slides from my presentation to show my historical knowledge, my understanding between contemporary and classic looks, 3 hair design and what inspired me to sketch them and my chosen hair design and experimentation with that design.








Salina Snow as a contemporary reference...

I went to see the Selina Snow exhibition in the Southampton art gallery. I managed to take a few pictures of her canvases. She likes to work a lot with bright colours and always makes strong references to her child hood and culture combined with the modern day. Here are some images of her work.

  • Alvin Ailey was a choreographer in the 20th century

  • He created the first all black dance company, which was unheard of in his time
  • This really changed the way people looked at the arts and in particular dance and culture within it 
  • Due to his courage and risk when he was beginning his own company, this had a large impact on what dance is today
  • He is now a very respected figure within the world of dance

Inspiration in other places...

When i began to flick through all my photos i found some images i had taken when i was in New York. These consisted of buildings, ceilings, monuments etc i found that they really inspired me in terms of the richness i was looking at for the elizabethan project i am currently working on so i thought i would just share those images here.
