Unit 1: Visual Recording in Art & Design / Task 1

Task 1: Produce a range of at least 6 primary source illustrations. These should be at least A4 in size.

These should be observational studies from life.

My 6 primary source drawings:

Charcoal

Felt-tip pen, with a continuous line, not looking at the paper.

No Picasso here, but I had fun!

First exercise with Stick&ink, a technique that consists of drawing with a little piece of wood and liquid ink.

I fell a kind of mixed sensation between a primitive art vibe and a harry potter wand covered in ink.

The result was a bit better than the other two, I have to say!

Orange felt-tip pen

Caroline, it's my teacher and I am really sorry about this terrible drawing of her!

Stick & ink

Here I had tried to draw 2 other students, TG they didn't try to kill me after!

Stick & Ink of my chubby small hands, looking even smaller!

I should practise more at hand drawing and learn how to really observe a subject. In class obviously people will move and it's a little bit more challenging than drawing from a picture. I need to practise at proportion too.

I discover that I really like to use stick and ink and I love of the lines results with this method.

TROUSERS - History and preparation for UNIT 121: pattern Construction

Xmas Holidays,be festive, home chores, homework for January, homework for the holiday period, meanwhile working in a new place... I always plan to relax and be lazy for the holidays, as well because I usually work more during the festive seasons ( damn hospitality jobs) but I always ended up in my studio trying to make something new (usually with meltdowns involved) or studying (looking nerdier than what people could think). So, here I am on my first official real day off, just after Xmas, searching and collecting info about my next Unit, Unit 121. Unit 121, it's a fashion college unit, about Pattern Construction, in this case, Trousers construction. (with all this Buffynism all around, I read in my mind Room 314 instead of unit 121, eh eh- I m losing my s***t) I am really excited, because I never adventure into making any trousers from scratch and rarely made some repair or alteration on it. It's a scary section from a beginner, so I am really happy to deal wi...

Kimono inspirations, Task 1 -Unit 4

Task 1: Research your interpretation of the theme of "KIMONO". Consider the following ways of generating and developing ideas: mind mapping, word association, primary source photography and drawing, internet & book research, making samples and prototypes. Being honest with you, I do not have ideas for this unit yet, so I am going to try some different techniques to gain some info and ideas. I don't know so much about kimonos in order to deconstruct the idea of it, I will collect some informations and inspirations. First I did a mind mapping of some basic technical info about kimonos: Then some word associations with all the thing that comes in my mind right now... (about kimonos, but just to let you know I am thinking about making some gnocchi too...) Because I have mentioned that, there are many kinds of Kimono types and of obi styles, I will collect some photos of the differences between each type, in order to see which could be my inspirat...
