Conclusion

Overall i have really enjoyed this first project. I feel my practical and theoretical skills have grown and developed throughout this semester. As having no previous hair experience i am happy in my progression in this area particularly. I feel i have used various resources for research and pleased with my designs development over the weeks. In future i aim to widen my research even more though. I was really happy with the final outcome for my design and the outcome of my partners design that i created.
Looking back now at my design i feel the make up needed to be a bit more extreme to show better in the photographs, and too experiment with other textures and perhaps lashes. I was really happy with how my hair design turned out and am glad my skills and potential was pushed further by my tutor as i feel a lot more confident now.

Inspiration.

After speaking with my tutor this week about finding inspiration and more visual references from my own life, I have already started looking differently at what’s around me. I think it’s important to try to unpack my daily activities and personal interests, in order to investigate what I find inspiring. Rather than just using the internet as my only source of research, I am excited to start exploring the things that sub-consciously influence my practice. I will attempt to do this by documenting what catches my eye through photography and blogging.

Today I assisted my sister with a Christmas stall for a BA Fine Art degree show fundraiser in the main building. I really took interest in an image of Frida Kahlo that was designed for a Christmas card. I like the simplicity of the monochromatic palette chosen to depict her features. I was particularly drawn to what appeared to be a floral crown, which I feel ties in with the Elizabethans, with their use of embellishments and hair accessories. This has made me think of other ways which the Elizabethan Era could be interpreted and contemporised.

Over the Christmas period I intend on watching a couple of films that I think will inspire my creativity. Two of these will be, Black Swan and Anna Karenina, both of which include a lot of stage make up design.

Next semester I will continue to pay specific attention to what it is exactly that inspires me and hope that this more varied documentation will feed into my practice.
