Week of 2/22



A.) After the presentation of the Rough Faced Girl and the Cinderella Story I decided to make a headdress that represented both my personality and the stories illustrations. The original Cinderella story is told with bright whimsical drawings, which inspired me to use vibrant feminine colors. The drawing of the Prince’s castle had intricate purple detail. I used purple tissue paper on the back of the headdress to add height. The height replicated the height of the headdresses in the Rough Faced Girl. The pink paper around the front yellow band added a touch of femininity. I added mini disco balls on both sides of the hat, which is a modern decoration compared to beads. I added spiral ribbon to the back of the headdress, again adding femininity. When I was a child, the story of Rapunzel was my favorite fairytale. I wanted to have a headdress that represented Rapunzel as well as the two stories of Cinderella.


B.) You could use this art lesson to help children create their own version of what their favorite character’s hat/headdress would have looked liked. This would encourage personal creativity and let the student expand their favorite character’s traits.
While learning about challenges in the fairytale, students could create a headdress for their character. The headdress would represent a way for the character to solve the main problem present in the fairytale.
