Recommended: 150 word summary of the art of henna

THE GOAL

My topic is “Henna for beginners”
I chose this topic because I want to learn and teach others how to make Henna designs. When I was 12yrs old, we had a neighbour who used to apply Henna designs for people including brides. I used to watch her do it and never got the chance to ask her to teach me because we moved to another area. Now I have the chance to learn it by myself through this project and also teach others who are also interested in Henna tattoos. I like decorating things and this project deals with decorating the skin especially the legs and hands making them appear beautiful and attractive.
My goal is to first learn how to prepare the Henna paste by going through all the steps and of course the simplest steps for learners to easily learn and remember and also find other alternatives for Henna paste preparations and provide information about the different products and where to get them. Secondly I want to learn how to make the Henna cone the easiest way possible and also give other ways of acquiring the cone. Finally I want to learn and make Henna tattoo sketches. I am going to learn both the Arabic and Indian henna designs which are not too complicated and combine all my work to make a booklet for beginners. So in general I learn how to make a Henna applicator from recycled material, learn how to mix and apply Henna and in the end I want to be able to apply henna on hands and submit that as my final product.
Specifications
• Use the red henna for shading
• Making at least fourteen sketches for choice from easy to difficult
• Provide step to step image
• Make an attractive cover for the booklet
I will know my project is successful when I see results on my goals for example, when I apply the information of my ...

  • Exploring Medieval Cosmetics: A Study on Trotula's Teachings

    659 Words  | 2 Pages

    The purpose of our project was to examine how accessible it would be to make medieval cosmetics from the Trotula while evaluating the effectiveness of these cosmetics. The Trotula was written in Southern Italy and consisted of a group of three texts describing women’s medicine. The third section of the Trotula focuses mainly on Women’s Cosmetics. The purpose of this section was to teach females how to improve their appearance themselves, except females, did not read these resources.

  • Exploring the Growth and Impact of the Esthetics Industry

    1159 Words  | 3 Pages

    While there are multiple facets of the industry that I am attracted to, I am most passionate about facials and skin care treatments. I enjoy having the ability to help someone improve the appearance and health of their skin, while also educating my clients on what their skin needs and how they can further improve it at home. Along with facials and skin care, I am very interested in microblading and other permanent and semi-permanent makeup techniques, including scalp micropigmentation and areola pigmentation. When done properly, microblading can camouflage missing or sparse eyebrow hairs with hair-like strokes using small deposits of cosmetic tattoo pigments.

  • Body Modification Research Paper

    1743 Words  | 4 Pages

    Body modification is defined as any deliberate alteration to ones’ physical appearance. Most people think that only tattoos and piercings fall into this classification, but this is barely grazing the surface of the extents that body modification can lead to. Anything from a simple ear lobe piercing to breast implants, or tattoos and scarifications are all considered as some form of modification. In western cultures, modifications are made for aesthetics and self-expression, but every culture is different. Native American tribes find spiritual clarity or vision in body suspension, where the body is literally hung on hooks, and in Imperial China's practice of binding the feet of women to represent wealth and beauty. In this paper we will not only look into different piercings, but the history behind them and tattoos as well, also the different modifications that various cultures practice, and why. I will explore tribes such as the Mursi tribe in Ethiopia and the Apatani tribe of Arunachal Pradesh, India. By the end you will have learned about various cultures and traditions, and have a whole new perspective of the art of body modification.

  • The Cultural Art of Body Art

    1081 Words  | 3 Pages

    For a long time now body art and decoration has been a custom in many cultural groups. Through research we have learned about the different types of body art and ornamentation such as permanent and nonpermanent tattooing, scarification, and piercings. These forms of body art and ornamentation are done for a variety of reasons, ranging from identification purposes to religious rituals. “Skin, as a visible way of defining individual identity and cultural difference, is not only a highly elaborated preoccupation in many cultures; it is also the subject of wide-ranging and evolving scholarly discourse in the humanities and social sciences” (Schildkrout, 2004). The process of ornamentation and body art is usually a painful experience, but it is a way to signify a person’s self-discovery and their place in society. In this paper, I will explore the different aspects of body art and ornamentation in two different cultures; the Maori people of New Zealand and the Yoruba’s of West Africa and explain the cultural importance of their art.
