Introduction to the brief


My name is Mihaela and I am an international student at Southampton SolentUniversity. I am original from Moldova, but I raised some years in Italy. I've chosen this course because of my passion for the beauty, because of my admiration for the art and because of my desire to make other women feel themselves beautyful...for putting in evidence the femminity.


The first assignement is called " The New Elizabethan".
It concistsof searching an Elizabethan Portrait on which I can bace my work.I have to analyze it in minimum 250 words. The second task is to find a contemporary famous person's  picture which is similar from my point of view to that Elizabethan portrait, and write another analysis to that portrait.
The final task is to mix the characteristics of these two images and to create a New Elizabthan Look.
I'm very excited about this project but also quiet anxious as well. I think that this project gives everyone the opportunity to express ourselves and at the same time it will highlight the originality of each of us. This is the right opportunity to let the green light to our creativity.
 I'm also anxious because I fear that with my current skills having only previously done a three month basic level course in make-up, I may not be as strong as other candidates. However, I know that working alongside everyone and being enriched with more in depth information and practical tasks within this course, it will push me to the limit in which I can reach my goal.
In regarding to the topic focusing on the Elizabethan era, my undestanding of the era is very minimal as I am not particularly familiar about the history of it. However, I try to get weel-informed about that specific era and thanks to our lectures it is easier and keeps being also very interesting. I've discovered new things and I became more attentive at small details. Now I can affirm that i really understand how our past was important to our present and which could be it's impact on the future.
