Evaluation

Looking back at this project, overall i have really enjoyed developing my characters and creating mine and my partners design. I have really liked exploring an era that i knew nothing about before, so learning new information about the 1920's weimer berlin has been interesting and has broadened my knowledge in general not just specifically in make up and hair. It has tested my skills, practically and theoretically but i feel i have learned a lot and am more confident in both areas than i was before. I have liked that there were several sources of research and things to refer to such as a film, script and book.
I have definitely found aspects of it challenging this term, in regards to it being quite quick paced to  have our designs ready and research and background work done. Especially as it is a period that i have started from scratch and had never read the book before. After researching though i felt my design ideas flowed and along with help from both practical classes in coming up with an historical design for the character i chose, Sally Bowles. I was pleased with the outcome of my design that my partner created, she listened well to my direction and it came out how imagined it too. If i could go back or modify my design, i would spray the green in my hair brown as it showed up too much and gave it a more contemporary edge.
I felt like my timed assessment, creating my partners design reached my partners expectations. She seem pleased with the final outcome. I had never created kiss curls before so i struggled with them in practices we had done, but i kept practicing and they turned out well on the day. My time management was good and i felt i followed her step by steps to the best of my ability.
I really enjoyed the second half contemporary club culture part of the project. I liked how open it was and looking back now or if i had a chance to develop my contemporary look i would definitely go for more of an extravagant look. I enjoyed researching and looking for inspiration as i found it more me than the first half. I was pleased with my design but feel i didn't showcase my full ability, creatively.
Overall i feel like both my designs have turned out well and reflect my research, even though i would change a few things if i was to develop them again. I throughly enjoyed learning about a new time period, in general and in regards to make up and hair. I have learnt new skills, such us finger waving, creating a bob, kiss curls which will help me in the future and for other designs. I am more confident in my practical and theoretical skills and feel my final outcomes demonstrate this.
