Textiles Worlds : Mixed Media

Beginning of Mixed media. 

I am pleased with my first option of Mixed media. It has given me the chance to explore all materials and fabrics to create pieces of Fashion, Interior and Art. Followed by continuous research for illustrations, designs and experiments. Recording and reflecting on artist and designers to expend on my thoughts and imagination through design. 

Workshop one - Find to Form
Beginning of the project. We all has to look at two presentations of what Textile mixed media and the whole concepts of determination and courage to take chances and risks when it comes to research and experimentation. Within the class, I got started by following the steps of using the task list. The task list was to use as many ways of just using paper.

I had to create meter long paper peice. The crumble effect on this peice, makes it stand out from the peices I created in the class. It brought my attention to think about certain artist and designers from the power point presentation and what I've known about perilously. I will be continueing to make paper pieces from contextual references.  (continue - soon) 

Everyday found objects

I began to reflect more on the Find the forms task list of all different ways to creating pieces of work that could be further developed. 

Layering

 To Twist 

 

To Hang 

Scan art. 

I began to think about how can I capture more details, while drawing simple 100 shapes? I am very popular with Scanned art and I thought this would improve the quality of drawings I  produce. 

Workshop two - Laser Cutter with illustrator

I had the chance to pair up with one of the students to create some designs from the Illustrator system to the Laser cutter system. Illustrator is not my strongest points for using technology, however I have completed two designs and had the chance to use the cutter. Learning and observing the piece of equipment was really enjoyable and I will be doing it again to create more peices. I will be carrying on designing new shapes and more inspirations for creating garments. 

 I really enjoyed the laser cutter system and we have rebooked to continue with the same designs as seen above and also we have been creating more designs for use to experiment with fabric. My intentions are to follow my direction for Fashion. I will be continuing to research more contextual references to expend my knowledge for pattern making. 

Workshop three - 3D Pattern Making

Workshop four - 

Contextual references.

Emily Hiller, has brought to my attention for creating different types of knots. I really like the shapes and tones of the structure and how it can reflect into my practice. I am going to continue experimenting with other everyday mixed media to complete small and large samples, to find some results. I got inspired by the everyday materials and how its formed in different construction designs that brings the whole element of this garment together.
