Research - warrior


Project - warrior : Cleopatra

In this project I'm going to work on Cleopatra. Cleopatra had shown a brave face, trying to protect her royal family and Egypt from Rome.

Pharaoh Cleopatra VII was a brilliant leader, says Joann Fletcher. "She was one of the most dynamic figures the world has ever seen. And I don't think that's an exaggeration." (Smithsonian Magazine, 2007)

The reason I chose her is that she is a very attractive person as well as her qualities as a warrior. I could see more clearly from the research that she was an attractive warrior.

Research





Through this study, we learned what kind of character Cleopatra has. In addition, I got the idea of how to express it in my project. First of all, I thought Cleopatra's strength and charm could be well expressed on her face. Most studies show her on face and Egyptian jewels.

I'm going to design a book cover with her eyes. Usually, I think I can tell a person's personality by looking at his or her eyes. I want to express Cleopatra's tough character and identity through her eyes.

The next post will take this idea and work in more detail.

  1. As discussed this is not research - you need to really discuss in detail using the correct technical language these book cover designs and how they inform your work - you need more references and more critical evaluation here throughout
