Week 1 - Term 4

This week we completed our planning doc and set some dates for when we want things finished.
Our costume ideas we havent finished yet as we have been told by the costumers that they would like the costume to represent a 7 year old girl.
Below is a plan of something that we would like to look further at in terms of costumes for Alice.

For our Mad Hatter idea we have yet to finalise our designs and are planning to get that finished next week so we can then go and find material to start to create the costumes.

Here is the planning doc:

Petra and Gerogia Week 10

This week we were creating a final draft to do some more work on and refine further. We worked on some ideas for Alice and the Mad Hatter which I think went really well today and we put together some more creative and intresting concepts.

Alice - we need to try and move away from the blue and white innocent girl and make her more interesting and different.

Mad Hatter - we need to think of a boy and try to adapt our ideas to suit the new character we have been given.

Reflection

Today we were brainstorming about random and crazy ideas we could link sustainability with our designs and costumes. Our group (Petra, Cody, and me) came up with a lot of ideas most of them involving either bubbles or glow sticks or something glow in that dark. We have already decided what we wanted Alice to look like but we havent really decided what we wanted the Mad Hatter to look like because there is so many different things. We learnt that 'Wonderland' was going to be placed in New Zealand so we have to add so Maori patterns and designs into our costumes mostly the Red Queens and stuff. Not all of our ideas were realistic for Alice but some of them were do able.

In class we were brainstorming on ideas on the school show. Not all of the ideas we came up with in our groups were realistic but we also came up with really different ideas and crazy ideas. We also thought about ways we can show sustainability through the show and the costume ideas we had. We thought of Incorporating New Zealand in it and showing a certain theme. Me Geo and Petra also came up with some weird ideas realistic and crazy. one of them was to have bubbles coming out of the dress and the other one was to have bubbles coming out of the dress and things like that.

Brainstorming

Brainstorming

Crazy ideas

This week in the groups that we are working in for the final costumes we had to try and create the craziest idea's that we could for our costumes. I found it hard to come up with idea's when we allready have idea's about what our finial product can look like but it was good to try something new. Here are our ideas

Questions!!

As a goup of 3 we got together and started to create as many questions as we could. We thought about what we would need for the show and how we could achieve that. I believe that doing this helped us in seeing what we need to acheive by the end of the show and it made us see how much work we have to do in such a short amount of time.

Alice and Mad Hatter

Georgia and I were working on the costumes and concepts for Alice and Mad Hatter. We belive that we should step away from the stereotypical designs and be adventurous with our ideas. We are going to be documenting our idea's through pintrest and we have been brainstorming questions that will let us go deeper in our thinking around the characters personalities.
