For the tutu project we have to collaborate with the design pathway. The cut and construction of the tutu should follow traditional methods but we have freedom to be creative with the decorations of them. The aim of this project as interpreters is to realise the designs given to us as wholly as possible.
The students on the design pathway have been given the theme of “Art Deco” as a starting point to draw inspiration from when creating their illustrations. The design I have chosen was made by Daisy Bowen and her illustration is shown below.
Daisy has also made another design (shown below) and this one has been chosen by Isabel Mattar to create a costume for. Because both designs look so similar and we can imagine them being worn together in a performance, Isabel and I will collaborate with each other, using similar fabrics and construction techniques so that they work well as a single piece as well as apart.
