Adornments.
To begin the project I started by creating a big mind map of ideas related to my chosen theme. This really helped me to expand on my initial ideas and open my mind to other directions my project could potentially take.
Adornments: "Accessory or ornament worn to enhance the beauty or status of the wearer"
I felt it was important to actually get a definition of my theme title. I think these definition perfectly sums up the direction I want to take. Not only looking at different kinds of adornments and their purpose but why people chose to alter their appearance in different ways. Whether it be about social status, beauty, wealth or something else.
Key ideas that developed on my mind map were:
- Social Status
- Culture/Religion
- Identity
- Age
- Clothing
- Hair
- Accessories
- Body Modification
- Cosmetics
It also occurred to me that it could be interesting to look at history and how styles have developed and how people adorn themselves for different reasons now than they did several years ago and why that is.
Picking this project will give me a good opportunity to also look into different kinds of patterns and colours that are worn by people.
