Week 4

Today we had a pin-up session with both Mark and Julie’s tutorial groups which was a beneficial to see where my work is now at, and to get another perspective from a much larger group. I’m pleased Julie found my drawing style “contemporary and original” but suggested playing with digital/sublimation print to produce grounds, and to push exploration of translating drawings into material. She questioned my context and perhaps this is something I have to consider more; costume design is a possible avenue Julie could see my samples geared to. I aim to push experimentation this week and become a bit more playful with my materials.

fragment drawing, Julie found the line qualities interesting; I aim to translate this to materials

Ethos sample with hand aplique; very pleased with this illustration

Inspired by a drawing of a lady on a postcard I acquired in the Barcelona flee markets I continued to develop my ethos skills this week with a colourful piece. I feel satisfied with the quality of the illustration, yet I need to explore more ways to experiment more with the ethos.
