LITERAL
(a) I, Genavieve Ponce, affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 30 hours of work.
(b) I did my hours with Mr.Hogan again
(c)
(d) For my second independent component, I competed at Fullerton Festival with the Drama class. I competed in the Makeup Design but since Hairdressing is my topic, I threw in my hair design as well. To compete, I had to complete an a Design Concept paper that took forever to write because I tried my very hardest to impress the judges. I also had to make presentation boards which also took long because I am an iPoly student and my boards had to look the prettiest. Which they were. After all of that, I had to deliver an oral presentation on my work and listen to all the other presentations that competed. I really wish I had competed the year before because then, I would have had a clue on what the judges were looking for.
INTERPRETIVE
Design Concept Paper
The paper displayed on here isn't my final draft. Its my first draft. I couldn't find my final which makes me very sad because it was so awesome and I've never been so proud of a paper before.
Prep for Drama
This is a spreadsheet of all the makeup, hair and costume instructions for everyone and every play. I didn't log my hours for working on this cause it takes a long time. I had to watch each play run about two times just to start getting an idea of what I was going to do with them. I share the file with Cheryl, who does costuming.
APPLIED
This independant compontenet helped my whole senior project in a whole at points because there was a lot of times when I had to go and do more research to gain information about hair including how to do some styles. When I had to research for makeup, I had to look up names for the different types of brushes. You start working with them so much, they all start to look the same. With some people, that maybe different but no person is the same so.. Anywho, the IC very much helped me understand the importance of hair products. When the actors are going on stage, the last thing a hairdresser wants is for their hair to fall out, which means, hairspray is your best friend in the theater world. If only I had researched more about that a week earlier because I used regular hairspray to hold in very precise curls and it did not hold. After Fullerton Festival, I went out and bought me two cans of new hairspray, but it was not normal hairspray. Its freeze hairspray which was exactly what I needed at that moment. While watching all of the presentations I realized that I wasn't going to win because two schools did Steampunk as their theme for the play and another school did Cats the musical. That musical is like the weirdest musical known to me. It has the funkiest hair and make up and there was so much you can do with that opposed to my school, whose play was boring and about politics. I knew that we wouldn't win because it was not as creative as the other schools, and I never had confidence in what I do and when I told Hogan that, he said its funny that I say that because in all the categories I scored high, and I actually had a chance at winning. I was so shocked and I had to fight back tears because the scores made me realize how much I don't give myself credit for. I definitely had to mention it in here because it was so drastic and crucial to me, I just thought I'd share.
*I'm sorry I wrote so much but I really loved my Independent Component*
