Project evaluation
I have really enjoyed working on this project; it’s been refreshing to develop a brand into something I envision it should be.
I feel like again this semester I have pushed the boundaries by traveling, and working with people I have never meet. This is setting me up for future careers and jobs.
Collaboration is extremely difficult at times, but none the less it was such a great learning curve.
This semester I have actually learnt Photoshop on my own.....This was a personal goal and I have managed it (its only taken me two years)
What have I learnt from this experience-
1. Collaboration,takesextremeamountsofpatients
2. Expectdelays
3. Makeyouideasclearandcompletelyunderstandableforthe
whole team
4. Remainenthusiastic,evenwhenitseemstonotyourway!
Areas of improvement
1. Cameraskillsstillneedimprovement

I am really looking forward to next year, and being able to create my ideas, this experience has laid foundation to a confident approach to next year.

I will also be useing my phone for behind the sceans photos and we have also been offered by her photographer friend in Majorca to take behind the sceans photos.

moodboard look and facechart for adverstisment look

The adverstisment look is going to be mainly on land with a couple of outfit changes aswell.
The first makeup and hair look Im aiming for it to be very minmnlistic EYE  look, i will use the blue of the two eye shadows and line under the eye's.
the hair is very beachy with both day and night looks, sweeping across the face ect.
T second makeup look I think a thick bold eye useing the greener of the two shadows will work really well. and smoking it out at the edges could possibly look quite nice aswell. i will play around on the day with that perticuler look and see how it comes out on camera.

I was talking to my photographer about doing the shoot abroad, she suggested Majorca as she has a photographer contact out there who would show us around the Island to all the great spots, and lend us extra equipment! added bonus!

now on to the Model.......
so we have had a bit of an issue with finding a model as most models i know  actually work for a "normal" job part time. so they obvisouly cant swan off tinto the sunset last minuit....... so it looks like i'm upping my game!!! I am going for a proffesional model, this is perfect because she is in a middle of a quite spell, shes between jobs but ....theres always a but, i need to fly her from Milan.........and did i mention she charges £1000 a shoot!!! fear not this quest is all expenses paid......and she is tottally cool with that.

makeup ideas and hair for editorial look

Im so inspired by this type of art for many reasons, the women tend top look soft and full like a "normal shap" with no expectations. theuy also carry an air of un-eartlyness to them with their pale skin and firey red hair.

I really want to show this withen my images and hope to work with a red head. I may be a bit picky in chosing but I  think it will pay off in the end.


This perticular painting "Ophelia" caputures my imagination, so im thinking for myeditorial shoot i will try and in corpurate water, i will need to do my resurch into this though!!

Ophelia

A Pre-Raphaelite Masterpiece

Ophelia is considered to be one of the great masterpieces of the Pre-Raphaelite style. Combining his interest in Shakespearean subjects with intense attention to natural detail, Millais created a powerful and memorable image. His selection of the moment in the play Hamlet when Ophelia, driven mad by Hamlet’s murder of her father, drowns herself was very unusual for the time. However, it allowed Millais to show off both his technical skill and artistic vision.
The figure of Ophelia floats in the water, her mid section slowly beginning to sink. Clothed in an antique dress that the artist purchased specially for the painting, the viewer can clearly see the weight of the fabric as it floats, but also helps to pull her down. Her hands are in the pose of submission, accepting of her fate. She is surrounded by a variety of summer flowers and other botanicals, some of which were explicitly described in Shakespeare’s text, while others are included for their symbolic meaning. For example, the ring of violets around Ophelia’s neck is a symbol of faithfulness, but can also refer to chastity and death.

The Hazards of Painting Outdoors 

Painted outdoors near Ewell in Surrey, Millais began the background of the painting in July of 1851. He reported that he got up everyday at 6 am, began work at 8, and did not returning to his lodgings until 7 in the evening. He also recounted the problems of working outdoors in letters to his friend Mrs. Combe, later published in the biography of Millais by his son J.G. Millais.

“I sit tailor-fashion under an umbrella throwing a shadow scarcely larger than a halfpenny for eleven hours, with a child’s mug within reach to satisfy my thirst from the running stream beside me. I am threatened with a notice to appear before a magistrate for trespassing in a field and destroying the hay.”

The Hazards of being an Artist's Model

Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Elizabeth Siddal painting at an easel, pencil on paper, 1850s, 25 x 20.3 cm (private collection)His problems did not end when he returned to his studio in mid-October to paint the figure of Ophelia. His model was Elizabeth Siddal who the Pre-Raphaelite artists met through their friend Walter Howell Deverell, who had been impressed by her appearance and asked her to model for him.
When she met the Pre-Raphaelites Sidal was working in a hat shop, but she later became a painter and poet in her own right. She also become the wife and muse of Dante Gabriel Rossetti. Millais had Siddal floating in a bath of warm water kept hot with lamps under the tub. However, one day the lamps went out without being noticed by the engrossed Millais. Siddal caught cold, and her father threatened legal action for damages until Millais agreed to pay the doctor’s bills.

Millais becomes a Success

Sir John Everett Millais, Christ in the House of his Parents, 1849-50, oil on canvas, 86.4 x 139.7 cm (Tate Britain, London)Ophelia proved to be a more successful painting for Millais than some of his earlier works, such as Christ in the House of his Parents. It had already been purchased when it was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1852. Critical opinion, under the influence of John Ruskin, was also beginning to swing in the direction of the PRB (the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood). The following year, Millais was elected to be an Associate of the Royal Academy, an event that Rossetti considered to be the end of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood.
Ophelia (detail), Sir John Everett Millais, Ophelia, 1851-52, oil on canvas, 762 x 111.8 cm (Tate Britain, London)
The execution of Ophelia shows the Pre-Raphaelite style at its best. Each reed swaying in the water, every leaf and flower are the product of direct and exacting observation of nature. As we watch the drowning woman slowly sink into the murky water, we experience the tinge of melancholy so common in Victorian art. It is in his ability to combine the ideals of the Pre-Raphaelites with Victorian sensibilities that Millais excels. His depiction of Ophelia is as unforgettable as the character herself.

What is Pre raphalite art?

The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood began in 1848 as a secret group of artists: Dante Gabriel Rossetti, William Michael Rossetti (his brother), Thomas Woolner, William Holman Hunt, Frederic George Stephens, James Collinson, and John Everett Millais. They were revolting against the current art establishment, mainly the British Royal Academy and their formulaic approach to art instruction. Though the Pre-Raphaelite’s goal was to remain secret, the meaning of the initials “PRB” inscribed on their paintings became public (possibly leaked by Dante Gabriel Rossetti).
The Brotherhood’s early doctrines were expressed in four declarations:

To have genuine ideas to express;

To study Nature attentively, so as to know how to express them;

To sympathise with what is direct and serious and heartfelt in previous art, to the exclusion of what is conventional and self-parodying and learned by rote;

And, most indispensable of all, to produce thoroughly good pictures and statues.

The Pre-Raphaelites created art that is known for its brilliance and vividness of color. They achieved this by painting white backgrounds that they would later paint over in thin layers of oil paint. Their work was meticulous and their subject matter drew inspiration from myths, legends, Shakespeare, Keats, and lovely long haired damsels that we now equate with Victorian beauty.
There are a few artists that were not members of the PRB, but who are often described as “Pre-Raphaelite” because of the pre-raphaelite influence seen in their work, or because of their close association with certain members of the PRB, namely Dante Gabriel Rossetti. These artists include William Morris, Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones, Sir John William Waterhouse, Evelyn De Morgan, Arthur Hughes, Ford Madox Brown, and Frederic, Lord Leighton to name a few.
