At the start of the project, when we were introduced to the brief, I was not too keen on the project and mainly about the history side of things, but to my surprise, I have actually enjoyed all of the different elements of this project, ranging from learning Elizabethan styles and techniques to modern contouring in the studio, to watching films and different interpretations in class. I believe I have learnt a lot - in fact a lot more than I thought I would, and all of the things that I have been taught will benefit me in the future.
This project has allowed me to gain a lot of knowledge about the Elizabethan era, and understand why they would do certain things to themselves, e.g. like using poisonous products on their skin. It has taught me the traditional and desired style of make-up that you would have worn if you were an Elizabethan, but it has also opened up my eyes and allowed me to see connections between the era and today's modern society, and how some of their influences still come into play, even today!
I feel I have conquered many hurdles, for example, things such as time management, learning how to evaluate and simple things like how to even create a blog! But overall it has been very beneficial, and I hope that the rest of the course is able to teach me the same amount of knowledge, whilst allowing me to enjoy the journey at the same time.
