On Thursday 6th of October, I completed my final
visual sheet for the project “Natural World” and also my specialised workshop
“textiles”. By completing the visual sheet at the start of the day, it allowed
me to take my designs further into the workshop to create my final design
layout for my repeated screen-print. From completing my visual sheets, it has
allowed me to identify which pattern design layouts are most effective and
which I believe I can take further into the final layout. Also, it has allowed
me to evaluate all of my designs which has inspired me to choose which layout
and ideas I am wanting to take further into my screen-print design. Finally,
the task allowed me to apply practical skills, knowledge and understanding of
characteristics and context to produce a design layout for my specialised
workshop area.
To complete the final visual sheet, I decided to create a
repeated pattern design which featured a collection of flowers that was
inspired by my primary research from Glastonbury Festival. I found the
collection of flowers inspiring as they presented a variety of warm colours and
depth on the surface of the design. Also, I was inspired by the sketchbook page
which I created around the generated primary research as I used embroidery and
felt to create a textile page which was an interpretation of the research
gained. I believed that the outcome was effective and I developed the research
into my moodboard sheets and I wanted to create a layout pattern which was
influenced by this. For the layout of the design, I created a repeated pattern
which was influenced by the materials used from Tracey Emin. The artist creates
pieces of embroidery and quilt artwork through different squares of fabrics and
sewing techniques. Also, she creates artwork which expresses her thoughts and
feelings towards the audience. I wanted to incorporate both of these influences
into my design idea as I wanted to reflect the importance of flowers which has
been gained and inspired by my research. To create the layout, I repeated a
pattern of squares which gave an appearance of an embroidery layout which was
inspired by my artist research. Next I repeated a pattern of flowers onto the
surface of the design which were developed from my moodboard. I also made the
layout symmetrical as I placed the variety of flowers on the design equall onto
the surface. Finally, to complete the pattern I included an illustration of a
running stitch pattern onto the surface to present further embroidery outcomes
within the design. Once, I completed my final pattern, I repeated the same
process I used previously and photocopied the visual sheet to repeat the images
demonstrated on the sheet. This allowed me to continue to create the “quilt”
repeated pattern appearance which was on display at a building I found inspiring
for my mood-board at Glastonbury Festival. Overall, I am pleased with my visual
sheet outcome and this is presented below.
Next, I had to choose which patterns I found most inspiring
to be develop further to create my repeated screen-print. To help me achieve
the task I wanted to consider which patterns would suit the best for the design
and somehow relate to each other which would hopefully gain an effective
outcome. To solve the problem, I looked back into my mood-board designs and collected
the idea of combining the importance of flowers and bees. I wanted to
incorperate my bee design because I was really pleased with the outcome of the
layout within the visual sheet. Next I wanted to incorperate flowers into my
design so I included the last layout I created which involved a variety of
flowers. A problem I faced with the design layout was my final choice as I wanted
the pattern to work effectively with the other chosen designs. To solve the
problem, I reflected back into my sketchbook and gained inspiration of the
importance of protecting bees. This inspired me to include my flower bud design
as it relates to protecting the insects as they gain pollen from the plant. In
conclusion all of the designs are linked and joined together through
campaigning to protect the bees as it is a strong topic and issue I believe
needs to be highlighted. After gaining the patterns I wanted to develop, I focused
creating my layout which included using the same appearance of my visual design
sheet that was inspired by a quilt pattern. To create the design layout, I will
be using the same process I previously experimented and explored in the last
specialised workshop lesson.
Next, I will be completing the final layout of my design which
will be transferred to tracing paper to create the screens ready to be taken
into the final process.
