On Tuesday 4th Of October, I started to complete my
final developed visual sheet which featured a variety of designs and materials
inspired by my developed research and moodboards. The specialised workshop
sheet has been continued from my previous visual designs and includes the same
background and layout which presents my approach to the task and journey. This
final sheet will be combined with my previous designs and be taken into the
workshop to create a repeated screen and a variety of samples. The samples will
demonstrate my understanding and techniques of the process and will also allow
me to evaluate the outcomes of my designs and choice of materials. Throughout
my visual sheet, I have continued to use keywords within textiles which has
helped me to progress further into creating final designs.
To start the visual sheet, I collected a choice of materials
which have been previously used on my first visual sheet to gain confidence
with using the techniques and processes. I continued to develop my confidence
with the paints called “Gouache” which is a material that creates a smooth
appearance and uses a small amount of water. These bold, colours were ideal for
two of my designs as they were simple outlines but includes a build-up of
shapes, repeated patterns and textures. My first design presented below has been
inspired by flower buds and seeds which also includes an influence of Angie Lewins
work as it gains a print and illustration appearance. For my colour scheme, I was
inspired by my primary research of Glastonbury Festival and my mood board as
the topic of the photograph relates back to protecting the environment. These
repeated colours gained an effective outcome and repetition within the sheet
and I continued to develop the design further by including a black outline
which was inspired by the print-artists research I collected. However, a
problem I faced when placing two surfaces of Gouache together was that when the
top layer was dry it peel away from the surface of the layout. I have gained
knowledge from experimenting with Gouache further and I will continue to use
the material correctly in the future.
For my next design, I continued to use the material “Gouache”
to create a repeated leaf pattern design which was built up in layers and also
included warm colours. The colour scheme was also inspired by Glastonbury
Festival as my primary research included flower sculptures that was developed
into my mood-board development. I believed that the colours related to the leaf
pattern outline as the warm colours symbolise the season autumn which relates
back to my theme and project “Natural World”. I was happy with the outcome of
the pattern as I have developed my confidence with using Gouache further to
create bold, even colours which highlights the outline of the design and topic.
The outline of the design was continued from my previous visual sheet layout as
I wanted my pieces to stand out and emphasise they are my original designs. The
background was inspired by a building which I explored at Glastonbury, through
my primary research, which included a quilt pattern on the surface of the
design. Also, the layout was influenced by my Artist Research of Tracey Emin
who creates quilt and textiles pieces of her artwork. The designs are presented
below.
Next, I am going to continue to create further design ideas
onto my visual sheet which will be taken and develop into a repeated final
screen.
