Figleafing Through History: The Dynamics of Dress
5.Comments:
1. So many information that can help me. So first they desribed for the fabric of silk. Where it came from and how. It clarify much of my curiosity. The chinese style and how it traded to the Egypt and open up it's popularity there.
2. The weaving techniques, was a great help! I understand why they did it the way they did. At first it was just something someone made up to keep the thread from falling apart. Then they start to create more complex weaving also by silk and cotton and wool. They say silk is the best fabric and comes from the silk worms.
3. Then the formation of Egypt clothing. Since while ago they dress with also nearly naked only with a piece of cloth called kalasiris but soon they create a robe and transparent to make them look more elegant. They also explained some Egypt's history of Queen Hatshepsut and how the culture and civilization develope and prospered.
4. Next was about Cretans. That they dress themself depending on the mood of the sea. They were influenced to many different types of dressing and clothing because many people were traders. The things that they wear usually express their sense in life.
5. The next few pages were some pictures of documents left long ago from different location. Like what they would wear. Also little caption on the bottom. This includes, the Sahara desert caves of the stone time, Sumerians,Egyptians, Romans and Greeks.
4. Questions:
1. How did people gather up all this information? (I mean it's from everywhere! and Lot's of history and tales.)
2.When did clothing/fashion really start? ( Silly question but I've always wonder.)
3. When did silk and other fabrics like wool, cotton was itroduce to the world?
4. Did they also dye them to get different colors? Where did tehy get teh dyes color from?
3.Vocabulary:
1. Asiatic: Sometimes Offensive. (That's interesting.)
2. Cloisonne: pertaining to, forming, or resembling cloisonné or the pattern of cloisonné
3. Cache-sexe: a small garment or covering for the genitals, esp. for exotic dancers or tribal members
2.Literary Terms:
(They were kind of hard to find.)
1.Allusion: Reference to the history of Egypt and many many other countries and culture.
2. none.
1. Overview:
Well, from pg. 39-59 it was telling my information of Egypt and the history of Aryans. The Cretans and some Chinese silk. Includes some information of perious gems and stones taht they use to wear as jewerly. And finally some pictures if you wonder what they looked liked and how the people backed them dressed as.
