 using a different method and material; mod rock  Increasing my skills and creative potential, we experimented with creating mod rock structures. First starting with a wire structure, then adding on the layers of mod rock to form a solid structure.  I really enjoyed learning a new method of creating, something I wasn't used to. Above and below are some pictures of the final...

 mindmap  Here, I began jotting down some ideas that I could think of when I thought of the word 'sensations'. I began to break down sensations in our five senses; sight, smell, touch, taste and hearing, as I wanted not only to think about producing something visually but also an idea that could be perceived through other more modern methods. Going forwards with...

visiting the whitechapel gallery in london and documenting the process and visit  Visiting London, we went as a class to visit the Whitechapel gallery. It was interesting to see some more contemporary art and work that could relate more to the experimental ideas that I'd like to achieve, rather than older works like that in the V&A which might not relate as such....

It was interesting to see how they displayed the objects and how I could consider laying out things in my 'collections' brief.  my sketches; Whilst we were visiting the gallery, I used my sketchbook and a biro to...

gaining further knowledge and inspiration of collections through the ideas of other artists DAVID HOCKNEY Hockney is well known for his unique work and his vibrant choice of colours. In my research in my sketchbook I explored his work and how he laid out the designs and the chosen backgrounds for each portrait. I'd like to try something similar to this with my...

contextualising my wearable designs into a magazine mock up Working in Photoshop, I imported my pictures from the previous contact sheet of the wearable maquettes and used my Wacom Bamboo Tablet to outline the model and cutout the sculpture into a new layer. Making sure to leave this the main part of the design, I deleted the rest and continued to fill in...

working with the maquettes, I explored contextualising them into wearable pieces  Now that I had some methods to use, I went on to producing a wearable sculpture, building a structure that would be gravity defying and also self supporting, so the person wearing it wouldn't have to hold it together for it work. I enjoyed working on a larger scale and facing the...

using the ideas from my maquettes before, I began looking for artists that did similar work to the outcomes I'd like to experiment with  *I spelt NOA wrong in my sketchbook in this picture but it has been altered* I really liked the work of Noa Raviv, I would like to take this as inspiration to develop my maquettes into a piece much...

progressing how the maquettes could be used by creating photograms with them in the dark room Taking my maquettes made in the previous project, I took them into the dark room along with photo paper and carefully laid out the objects and experimented with the timer to see how long I could expose the objects to create different levels of contrast and brightness....

using an A2 sheet of paper, explored multiple ways of manipulating the surface and making elements 3D For this project, I took a big A1 sheet of white paper and began to manipulate the surface in as many ways as possible to create texture, volume, shadows, sheer parts, holes, rips, tears, cuts etc. I really tried to maximise the material I had available...

using colour palettes developed previously, explored ways of contextualising into fashion garments and home decor opportunities  Scanning in images from fashion magazines, I began to photoshop my colour schemes onto the backgrounds and on the garments themselves. The most effective layout or approach I believe is in the second picture, where I changed the colour of the garment and made the background black....

mixing two complementary colours  Here, we had the opportunity to explore the different varieties of colour we could produce and the combinations that could be mixed together. I took two different primary colours and mixed the two together in different shades and tones to produce as many different colours of the same shade family as possible.  I really enjoyed this approach to colour...
