Model Profiles

When choosing my models, I first took to researching what both women in the myth looked like. After researching Arachne, I found that most people were tending to give her either dark brunette or black hair. This darker hair helps for it to blend in with the colour of the spider skin, thus creating more of an accurate visual representation of her being a spider. For Athena, I found that most photographs on Google showed her with the same dark brow hair, however after seeing her portrayed in such films as ‘Immortals’ (2011) and ‘Clash of the Titans’ (2010), she is shown to have golden blonde hair; I feel that the blonde hair gives her more of a godly aura.

Because the illustrative photo of Arachne from the story (fig.1) is in black and white, this was no help to me when picking my models hair colour, I found this painting named ‘Minerve et Arachne’ (Minerva and Arachne) by Rene-Antoine Houasse (fig.2). In this 1706 painting shows Arachne to have dark brunette hair, whilst Athena’s hair is of a golden blonde shade. I have decided to go with these two hair colour selections as my final choice.
