After we took our first set of photos we were asked to look at the pictures and develop the
mes and ideas inspired by the composition and visual effects of the photos. The pictures i took reminded me of historical costume of the rococo period. Therefore i researched rococo costume and Jacobean portraits - at the same time it lead me to think about 17th century and Edwardian hair styles and wigs which correlated with the photos I had taken (I looked at artist Katherine wardropper whose fashion creations are similar to the Jacobean fashion). These types of costumes seemed to me to look like elaborate cakes like wedding cakes so i researched wedding cakes and looked at the artist Wayne Thiebaud who is famous for his paintings of cakes and confectionary.

Lovely start Jade - but you must include some more artist connections - try to find some artists whose work relates to Thiebaud in some way, without necessarily looking too literally at 'cakes'. Could be colour / textures uses etc. JM
