For this module my inspiration has come from Brothers Grimm.
A king vows to kill his twelve sons if his wife bears a daughter; the sons escape to an enchanted house in the woods. Years later their sister finds them but unintentionally turns them into Ravens by picking twelve lilies from the enchanted house’s garden. To save her brothers she vows to stay silent for seven years to break the curse. Up sitting in a tree a king comes and in awe of her beauty he asks her to marry him. Over the years the kings mother a wicked woman accuses her of evil and the queen is sentenced to be burnt at the stake. As the fire is lit the seventh year of silence passes and just in time her twelve ravens appear to her rescue and turn back to their former selves stamping out the flames. The queen explains her silence and the wicked mother is sentenced to a wicked death by being thrust in a barrel of boiling oil and poisonous snakes.
The story has developing characters and storyline. It also includes the gruesome undertones typical of Brothers Grimm. I have chosen the character of one of the older brothers to design two costumes for. I want to design and make a costume the brother whilst he lives in the enchanted house in the forest. In this ‘scene’ the brother lives and hunts in the forest this effects the costume and what is appropriate to wear. The next costume I will design and make will be the brother in the transition of becoming a Raven. I will make the raven costume the same as the first but distress, manipulate and add to it.
