Queen Elizabeth 1
The 'Rainbow Portrait' 1600.
The New Elizabethans is the title we have been given for our first project. This is a project i have been looking forward to as i will never forget that on the day of my interview talking to some of the now second year students with there hair crimped and up high using padding to bulk it out, and also with the combination of makeup, with white faces and rosy cheeks, my excitement to start at Southampton Solent. One of the main aspects of the project which i am mostly looking forward to is looking into the history of what made Queen Elizabeth such an icon, this differing from the golden hair showing nobility, to the pale skin, showing her status in England, as she did not have to go out side to work like the poorer people of England did. My worry about this project is not being able to do look justice, as the Queen's look is iconic, and being able to reproduce it and have a modern spin whilst still having it being relevant is something i feel i will have to research properly, as i want to do the look justice. This aside i am looking forward to creating a design from this iconic era.
