On Wednesday 28th September, I continued to
complete my visual design sheet for the project “Natural World” and my
specialised workshop area “Textiles”. This sheet has continued to be developed
from my moodboard and sketchbook ideas. The patterns and ideas are initial
ideas which will be taken further and developed into a final piece. The final
outcome will be a repeated screen print which will include either one colour or
more. The repeated screen will be transferred onto a variety of materials and I
will be completing and experimenting with samples. These samples will allow me
to adapt and develop my ideas to create an effective outcome. Throughout my
visual design sheet I have continued to consider keywords in textiles which has
helped me to create effective outcomes and appearances.
To complete my visual sheet, I decided to include a variety
of materials to present my design ideas and thought process throughout the
project. For the choice of materials, I decided to use and experiment with
paints called Gouache which is substance that creates a smooth outcome and
doesn’t use water. The material is perfect for textiles and screen-printing so
I was curious to explore and experiment with the paint on the visual sheet. I
was nervous to use the Gouache as paint is my least confident material to work
with. However, when using the material I realised that the texture was easy to
work with as it was a bold colour that couldn’t be mixed to create shadows
within the surface of the paint. To create a new colour, I discovered that the
technique must be created separately with a different pot of water in order to
create an effective outcome. The style and outline of my pattern was inspired
by Angie Lewin as I created a lino-print style petal surface that was also
inspired by my flower moodboard. The colour was inspired by the surface I used
previously for my lino-prints as I found that both colours complimented each
other easily and worked effectively with the material I used. After, creating
the piece I continued to create further patterns within the sheet. I decided to
use watercolours for my next design as I wanted to emphasise the shapes and
flowered demonstrated within the design. The pattern outline was inspired by
the campaigning posters across my visit to Glastonbury which emphasised the
importance of flowers. I decided to use the key terms and present a repeated
pattern that captured my inspiration for the piece. Whilst, completing the
visual page I faced problems with the outline of my design as I had areas which
weren’t complete and couldn’t fit sustainable patterns within the space given. This
was a challenge for me as I was unsure how to complete the page but also
express my ideas for them. To solve the problem, I looked back towards my
moodboard and the inspiration for my layout of my design. I noticed that the
shapes has a repetition of pattern and colour which gave a quilt pattern
outcome. To gain inspiration from this, I decided to photocopy my previous
design ideas and create a repeated pattern on the surface of the sheet which
presented all of my designs. By creating the visual sheet, it has allowed me to
include another technique of collage onto the surface. Also, it has allowed me
to demonstrate my thought process and understand of key words in textiles. I am
pleased with my outcome and I am going to continue to create another visual sheet
which follows the same layout but also further development and ideas of
pattern. The outcome is presented below.
