Evaluation of Origins unit

At the start of the Origins unit and Mixed Media i was unsure how well suited I would be to a more product basic project. However i have found I am really inspired but it and how and what 3D effects I can create.
     I do feel i have been able to create and develop a connection better my research and practice however I have found not working towards an outcome difficult at times. However this has made me focus on researching and developing sample, by pushing them further. I particularly enjoyed starting with the 100 line drawing as i feel this enabled me to loosen up and find my drawing style and technique again, in layering and experimenting.
   Discovery has been a main focus in this textile worlds, as i have found that i really enjoy and feel inspired by using illustrator and the laser cutter. I feel the outcome has a very clean, multiple and minimalistic style that is a general theme through out my style and work.
    Mixed Media had also helped me realise that I am very interested in Fashion Textiles and Body Adornment. As i have been looking at artistes and designers such as, Alba Prat.
   It is very free with the use of material, I have enjoyed this freedom and seeing what can be created with simple everyday objects.
   I have found that I am good with my time management for booking and working towards workshops and i do feel i am ok at time management during independent study however sometime there are distractions at home so it is better to work in the studio space. Therefore i have learnt for the next unit to not let the home environment distract me from  my work. Also I feel I need to produce more sample instead of thinking about the concept and where my work can or could go.

Finding form from laser cut shapes

Finding form from lazer cut shapes. I am inspired but the geometric structures formed here. I want to see how these could be applied.

tutorial Tuesday 19th November

Todays tutorial has helped me to focus on making back to paper forms and finding forms. That can help me focus on an possible outcome. I also found out that I really enjoy Fashion Textile and body adornment and would like to look further in to that.

Deconstruct/Reconstruct Drawing task

Perspective and creating a space

Kinder egg Challenge part 2

Kinder egg Challenge part 2

After using my kinder egg parts and black and white Indian ink i have created a space.

Deconstruct / Reconstruct

This drawing day involved taking apart a kinder egg and the using the parts to draw and mark make.

Tutorial Tuesday 12th

Todays Tutorial has helped me to push my 100 line drawings further and include layering in my work. In addition to do more research into artists and designers to help develop my sampling work. Also to continue to work and research for ideas and concepts.

Laser cut take 2

After really enjoying laser cutting i decided to try a repeat pattern a larger scale and then see how i could apply this to an garment.

Wood laser cut

Enlarged my laser cut design and used a different material, Wood. I think this worked well on the wood how ever i think it would be better back to it original scale and then on multiple.

Alba Prat

I am really inspired but Alba Prat's work. From the neutral colour scheme to the shaped created. It would be interesting to see how i could use my laser cut samples to create a garment.

simple shapes

Shapes can create beautiful forms. 

For lazer cutting I developed simple shapes from drawing of 3D paper structures I made into a detailed patterns that I feel can be used to create an interesting fabric for a garment, wall hanging or wallpaper.

Stories

How ordinary objects can create a story or stories that intrigue and encourage ideas and concepts. This drawing involves creating an image ever 5 minutes from my surroundings.

Illustrator Designs

My first Laser cut designs on illustrator. I developed these designs from looking at paper shapes. It will be interesting to see if these work in the Laser cutter and what material create the best outcome.

Lumps and Bumps

Lumps and bumps was interesting, I enjoyed learning a new pattern cutting technique and what this could be applied to.

It would be interesting to look at how I could change the bodies silhouette, by adding the 3D square shapes on repeat.
