Project brief / Redheads & Royalty

Our project brief for hair is 'Redheads and Royalty' based on the hairstyles of the Elizabethan period. We have to gather research and look at historical images online and from books of hairstyles and techniques used by the women of 'The Golden Age' and how they created such elaborate and amazing hairstyles, to eventually design and create our very own contemporary hairstyle inspired by that era. I will also be looking into what hair styles and colours determined age and status from the period. In class we will be taught about the historically accurate hairstyles and will be learning to create them, and we will be using these skills, techniques and the knowledge we learn to create a unique and modern version. My journey to my final design will be recorded on this blog including all my research, imagery and inspiration.
