Project Evaluations
Great Expectations
Looking
back at when we where first assigned the brief of ‘Make-up in Motion’ it was a
great chance to try and show our skills, of in-depth research, how we can
achieve continuity looks and the use of different mediums.
When
starting the project, I wanted to make sure that I did thorough research into
the time period we where looking at, to help guide me to my final piece. I feel
that my ideas and work has stayed at a steady pace and haven’t gone on a
different tangent. I new what I was wanting to achieve and how to get their. I
think this has helped me keep up to date, and believe in the ideas I had for
each of the looks.
Looking
back at the research material I have found, used and been influenced by, has
been ample, I used what I thought was necessary to get to my goal. Charles
dickens has been the main influencer through this project; his descriptive
writing of each character we where assigned to create, helped me in the way I
perceived how they would look. Without this I think it may have been more difficult
for me.
My skills
have developed throughout this term, especially within my hair designs and
techniques. I am really proud of my Estella look, it took a lot of trial and
error to achieve and lots of research.
Overall,
if I where to do this project again I would be more careful in the continuity
of hair, I was disappointed with the final outcome as they didn’t quite match
up, however, I feel that my work was good and my skills and eye has become
sharper to see what it to be corrected and made to look better.

The theme
for the second part of this project was to be creative in the way of adapting
two ‘premade’ characters into a different setting and creating their looks from
the influence of a TV series.
This was
a challenge for me; I did get quite stuck in how I would place them in my
chosen series and how they would look and change to the new setting. The
development of my ideas has been a time consuming, but once we had, had our
presentations, I felt more confident in my ideas, as I had researched more into
the chosen series, key words and looks I could adapt.
My work
has changed throughout the project due to me not understanding it straight
away, but with determination and research into different looks and ideas has
helped me get to the conclusion.
When
looking at my main inspiration, it’s mostly consisted of horror films, the
chosen TV series and found images from other artists. I have combined all that
has helped me, and what we have been taught in our lessons to achieve my final
looks.
Overall, I think that even after all the stress at the
beginning, my work has come through and shows the skills taught and how I have
created a new look with the information given and found. I am really proud of
the outcomes and how my blog portrays the knowledge I have gained throughout.
