For this unit, Locating, I have
been given the right to choose which live projects I want to work on and how I
split the designated time between my chosen 3. I have decided to choose 3 live
projects and split the time at 4 weeks for one and 2 weeks for the other 2 live
projects. The 4 week live project I have chosen to do is the project from
Bradford College, it entails designing a furnishing fabric that can be created
from any process or technique. It must be based on a Textile piece from the
Bradford College’s Textile Archive; however elements of it can be change to
become anything.
This
submission includes 2 x A1 mounted boards that show my development from the
original archive sample to my finished design; all of the production details
should be clearly stated.
I
have chosen this live project as my starting point as it gives me the
opportunity to transform something already given, it also gives me the time to
experiment and play around with colour, texture, scale and pattern. I would
like to focus this project on experimenting mainly with colour, seeing how
different colour can change an image.
After
looking over the 12 given samples from the Bradford Textile Archive, I decided
to choose the sample created and posted by Shelagh. It is a floral design that
uses light and shadow to create different shades of colour, the only colours
used is green, black and a lighter shade of green. The floral design is nicely
presented and the main detail is central in the design, this is the area I may
concentrate on.
My first instincts to what I may
change and alter are definitely the colour, the process and the scale. I would
like to keep the detail of the floral design similar because I think it is
lovely but may re-structure its positioning.
