Fine Art

these images are from the fine art week. i found this week very fun and felt very free to do what i want with my work. the first two images i felt like i had to be neat and then on the second two pictures i was more free using cardboard to create the patterns with colour.

3D design

these set of images are from the 3D design week. I really enjoyed the perspective drawing part of this week because ive never done it before and found that it was really easy to do and also looks quite good, i really like the coloured squared image with the box behind it as i think it makes it stand out. the part that i found most difficult about this week was the creating shapes out of paper and card.

Fashion

The fashion week has been my favourite week so far as this is what i would like to specialise in . the outfits we made from paper started off from just simple shapes, i really enjoyed this way of working as i used this technique in my alevel textiles. this then went on to fashion illustrations but first we drew pictures of our paper garments so we could use the shapes for the fashion illustrations.

Textiles

This selection of images are from the textiles section in the exploratory stage. i didnt really like all the observational drawings that we did as i found it boring drawing the same object over and over again. but when we started to use different techniques like the monoprinting and using stich is when i started to enjoy it. the one thing i did learn from this week is to stop being so neat with my work and that its ok to be messy sometimes. 

illustration work

this set of images are from the illustration taster week and were all done using observational studies of birds. i really like the first two images which were done in pen and ink as i think they worked really well and looked good with the colour in the background. i really didnt like the ones where we wet the paper as i think it looked really messy and i didnt like the way that i couldnt control where the ink went. the last two images went well and i enjoyed making a collage and am impressed with the way they turned out.

Ingo Maurer

Ingo Maurer is a lighting designer. His designers are very unique and unusual. Apart from designs of lamps for serial production he also works privately for people who want him to design them a one of a kind lighting piece. A few of his designs look like they are made from paper with images and lettering printed onto them. i think he is a very interesting designer and i would really like to have a piece of his in my home.

Anni Albers

Anni Albers is an textiles designer and printmaker. in 1925 she became 'junior master' at the bauhaus. i think her designs are interesting as she just uses colour to create shapes and images. Her work with colour is varied as some of the products which shes designed are simple colours which use the shapes to stand whereas some are loud and bright colours which dont really have a pattern to it.

Christian Dell

Christian dell worked for the bauhaus from 1922 to 1925 as a foreman in the metal workshop. He just produces lamps and lights although before these he opened a jewellery shop. i really like the way which all his lamps are very similar and are the same shape just different sizes but he makes all of his work very different from eachother by using different stands.
