I need an idea for AS Level Art & Design topic. I was originally going to do 'Portraiture' and focus on 1940's style icons and for my final piece, I was going to make a dress inspired by the 1940's but give it a modern twist and make it something that Audrey Hepburn would wear if she were still alive today... Although, my teacher told me that because I'm doing people, my final piece wouldn't match my topic because it would be sort of like an investigation which means I have to change my whole topic entirely.
The final piece I have in mind is still going to look very 1940's no matter what I do my topic on. I have 3 dresses in mind at the moment.
To make the first modern, I was thinking I could find a nice, green leopard print (or maybe paint/batik my own if I couldn’t find one that looked quite expensive).
The other idea I had for a final piece was to make a dress that also looks 1940's but instead of buying print, I could buy fabric paint and paint flowers all over it.
The final idea I had was similar to the second only instead of painting flowers all over it; I could paint a line of them down the front.
(I’m sorry if you’re not getting this but you have to be in my head to be able to imagine it, it’s fabulous☺).
I know what you’re thinking, for those I could either choose Flowers, Animals or Nature (which would include them both) although, I’m not really a ‘flower person’ and I couldn’t possibly name many flowers in order to explore different kinds. I also may find it becoming very boring and repetitive and I don’t want that to happen encase I loose my concentration and my work quality suffers (like it did at GCSE stage when my topic was Fruit and Vegetables).
At the minute, I’m thinking of changing my final piece but I don’t really want to as I want to have a career in Fashion when I leave school so it’s really important to me that I choose clothes. Any ideas what I could do? PLEASE help me come up with ideas ASAP.
