Evaluation & Peer Review - Course Overview
Throughout
the time I have been here I have learn a number of different skills ranging
from communication skills with clients and peers, working with different hair
types, working with different equipment straighteners, crimpers and curlers and
many more skills. I really enjoyed hair styling a lot more than I thought I was
going too because before this course I couldn’t even plait hair and then to
look back on my progress throughout this term really shows how far I have come.
I’m extremely happy about how the course started right back from the beginning because
I think this helped me enjoy it a lot more because I knew that everything I was
doing was the correct way.
The thing I
have gained most from this term in hair is the confidence to work on clients or
peers and believe in what I am doing. I’ve always liked doing my friends and
family’s hair by never had the confidence to do any clients because I didn’t
believe in my own work because I always thought I wouldn’t be able to do what
they wanted me to do but now I feel like I have gained the confidence in myself
to know that I can do it with practise.
I think as a
result of how this unit went as a whole I think next time I will really focus
on the research a bit more and when I find things that inspire me write it down
on my blog as soon as possible because I found inspirations online and in books
and in portraits but didn’t write about them straight away which meant when I
came back to writing about my inspirations and research I struggled on writing
it because I couldn’t remember exactly what inspired me at that point in time.
I attended
all classes which really helped when it came to deadline time because I had all
the technical stuff from the lessons and didn’t need to get help from peers on
what they done in certain lessons and what parts I missed. I also notice that the
research lessons with Helen really helped me develop my own ideas and where to
look for inspiration which really helped me start getting first initial ideas
and then shaping those ideas with practise in the hair lessons. I also used
independent study time to update my blog as I go. The only thing I wish I did
more of was use the library more and wish I used more books than I did because
I feel like when I’m in the library I get a lot more work done than when I’m at
home because there are no distractions.
Over all the
unit as a whole went really well and learnt a lot of different skill, working
from a partners design was more of a challenge than I thought it would be
because you're having to rely on someone else and do someone else’s ideas which
was really hard but it was also a really good key skill to learn because this
means when someone gives you a brief to work to I will be able to work from
someone else’s ideas. My final design and final hairstyle I was extremely happy
with as I think it shows a number of skills in the styling and my design also
shows I have researched into my character and gone in depth about her
personally and linked my design to her life.
