I hope you like my installation; I was quite pleased with it myself! Once all the installations were up we then started drawing, we were told to draw sections for a minute then we had ten seconds to add some colour to the piece. This I quite enjoyed however I hadn’t drawn anything for a week, so my drawings at first were a bit stilted.
In the afternoon we drew on either A1 or A2 paper. We were given four drawings that we had to do. The first one was to draw the silhouette of the objects in front of us, this I struggled with, but I quite liked my drawing when I finished. Drawing two was to draw the outline of the objects’ but in wet media. This drawing I didn’t like what I did, oh well! The third drawing was of our whole installation but in our other hand, so I drew in my left hand instead of my normal right hand. Unfortunately I didn’t get round to doing the fourth the drawing, but that was to have two different backgrounds then draw on top, this sounded quite fun so was a shame I didn’t get round to it.
I really enjoyed my first day in fashion and textiles, I felt I got out of it and learned new skills. But I was so tired at the end of the day. Drawing takes it out of you, you wouldn’t of thought it would do! YAY!!
Tuesday 16th
We were asked to take more photos for overwhelm and overload today, I wanted to go to IKEA but I couldn’t find a route there so I went to John Lewis instead I had a great day looking around all the Christmas things. But I went to take photos of groups of things like, sunglasses on shelves, belts hanging up, sweets in jars and necklaces hanging up. I was quite pleased with the photos took. So I went home and printed some of those off. I also started on my little books that I was asked to make, one based on snippets of colour then another A5 book based on proportion. This I enjoyed doing, but I didn’t think my outcomes where the best I've ever done, but I think I prefer working bigger than smaller really. Oh well!!! Tuesday was a good day I thought!!! YAY!!!!
