Clink on the link to find research and sketches.
Prompt: Consider the character of the witches in Shakespeare’s Macbeth. They are outside of society, foretellers of truth, and wield a power that lies beyond the other characters’ influence. As a designer and craftsperson, imagine how you might portray the witches in three different time periods/conceptual worlds. Consider how you would use your skills and interests in fabric manipulation, crafts, and painting to actualize these costumes. Present these three approaches using research, sketches, swatches, and an overview of the process for creating each look.
Scroll though the presentation below to see the research and build process along with the sketches. Clinking on the images enhances the image and also shows comments given during the design presentation.
