As a recap, Grace is making two dresses and putting up four or five of her fashion sketches as well. For her installation, she will put the two dresses in front on models which she will borrow from the costume department. On the wall behind the dresses, she will have the five sketches on the wall to show her creativity and to illustrate what she has learned as a Studio Art major. To frame the entire piece, Grace wants to hang red tulle on the wall as curtains. To finish off the installation, she will put the character for happiness on the wall because it's a common character to see at weddings.
It's been awhile since Grace was able to sew in the sewing room because of the plays, so she's slightly behind in sewing. She bought a small sewing machine though, so she'll be able to work on the dresses during spring break. since the last time we saw the wedding dress, Grace had cut off the bottom and added the red around the waist. The second dress will be worked on over the break.
Suggestions:
- Tulle is good, but make is white instead of the red, with only a red ribbon to tie them back. Make sure to order the tulle now because it may take two weeks to get.
- make sure if you're going to put a sketch on the pillar, that it fits well.
= maybe only have four sketches instead?
- Put the sketches on black matte board or foam core to make them neat and professional.
- Don't just cut out the character; paint or collage it instead. Make sure it fits. Great detail, though.
- You can't cover up the security monitor on the pillar, so keep that in mind when designing your final layout.
This time, Grace's project seems much more focused on the traditions of a Chinese wedding, and the continuous use of red and white make everything flow well together. I think it will be a clean, strong display of Grace's strengths, and I look forward to seeing the finished dresses.
