Fashion Week One

So last week during RAG Week we had our brief waiting for us. I took one so I could look at it during the week of relaxation and it was not an easy looking brief! We had to choose one group of three words from a selection of five..confusing to explain but easy to understand if you actually saw the brief. Anyway I chose the words volume/bulky/blunt and from there I did some contextual research on designers that used those words as inspiration for their work...such as Viktor and Rolf, Alexander McQueen, Issey Miyake, Sandra Buckland, etc. I am really loving Viktor and Rolf!! Their stuff is just amazing!!

So yesterday (Monday) we had to choose a theme and then do some drawings based on that theme. I chose "flowers" as my theme so I drew some analytical drawings of gladioli, tulips and lilies! Then I did more linear drawings of those flowers. I picked out and traced shapes from the linear drawings that I found exciting. I drew quite a few so I had quite a selection! I'm happy with the drawings that I chose though!! What do you think??

Elective Three: FASHION!!!!!

I decided to get a head start on the fashion research and I'm thinking about using the words volume/bulky/blunt to inspire my work. Saying that...I'll probably change my mind again tomorrow!! Sure I'll post pictures of the beautiful pieces now anyway :)

Last day of Sculpture and Combined Media

So it's the end of Sculpture!! The past two weeks flew past like!! Yesterday I did soooo much work on my sculpture like trying to figure out my story to connect it all together!! I've decided that my work looks similar to a shrine. A hand shrine but still a shrine!! The black and white paper chains are of body parts and the reason that I did them going from black to white was to emphasize the colours of the wax and also  to drag the eye upwards and/or downwards to the focal point which is the shelf with my hand casts!!
