October 6th - October 9th

Re-capping on last Friday. I produced a variety of seams and above are some of the photographs of the seams that I made.

Monday - Critical Studies.
Really struggling with this class - hopefully it will get clearer as the weeks go on.

Tuesday - Creative Approaches to Fashion.

For Tuesdays session I had to photocopy the same image 10 times. I chose the artist I am using for my Creative Approaches to Fashion project (carrying on from the Summer Project), Eva Hesse. (The image is above).

The task assigned in class, was to use the 2D image and manipulate into a 3D image. I struggled at first, because i was too busy trying to make the drawing too perfect and Fashion Illustration based. I got the hang of it, and produced several sketches using the image and mixed media.

After coming home and photographing these drawings. I found a book titled "Fashion Illustration Next" by Laird Borrelli. It had a couple of images in it by Esdar Maren which i think resembles what the tutors were trying to get us to do. The artist, was using images as the structure of the dress.

-Esdar Maren.

Another that I found was "Sewing Strokes" by photgrapher Manuel Lagos Cid.

Wednesday - Creative Approaches to Fashion.

Mark Making, I really enjoyed this day. Again, spent the first few sketches trying to paint a perfect picture, I think I will eventually over time get out of this habit. We had to experiment with using different media's to portray different surface textures. For instance in one of the images you can see I have used masking tape to convey the texture of the woolen garment.
