Purpose of this assignment: This assignment aims to extend learners ability to select and visually record from a range of sources in order to communicate information to different audiences, using appropriate presentation methods and for a range of specific purposes.

Scenario The theme of this assignment is the "human form". You may interpret this in any way you like but try to make sure that your work maintains clear links to both the theme and to fashion illustration.

You are asked to create an innovative fashion illustration of a figure in a garment of your choice.

Task 1 Produce a range of at least 6 Primary source illustratios. These should be at least A4 in size.

Examples could be stiched pictures of still life assemblies that you set up yourself, full figure collage studies of other people or close- up drawings of hands or feet; these should all be observational studies from life.

Task 2  Produce a range of at least 14 secondary source illustrations.

These should also be at least A4 in size. You can use any media/techniques and the source material can come from a magazine, book or the internet.

Task 3  Research the work of at least 2 historical fashion illustrators. Describe how they might influence your work.

 Task 4 Research the work of at least 3 contemporary fashion illustrators. Describe how they may influence your work.
Task 5 Review your artwork and research so far and choose one illustration to develop into a final outcome of a fashion illustration, of a clothed figure of your choice. Say why you think that is the best idea to develop as your final piece, and describe how you will produce your outcome with planning notes and/or sketches.
Task 6 Produce your final outcome. This should be at least A3 size and when finished you should mount it appropriately ready for presentation.

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...

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.

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.

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...
