Intersisciplinary- Over!!

Evaluation

Having completed my Interdisciplinary module I now feel I have gained further understanding about new techniques such as weaving, as I was unsure how to weave properly prior to this module. I now realise that this is a very easy technique and it can look very creative and effective when you just play around and experiment with it. I have tried to respond a lot more to images by sampling further and been more creative which I did lack in creativity in some other modules. I feel that initially it took me quite a while to gain some inspiration for my work, however I now realise that I should have focussed more on my phrase (A form resulting from any such change) rather than my technique at the beginning of the module because I know that I was focussing too much on the weaving aspect of my work more than anything else which ultimately effected my work in the beginning. I then had the idea of looking into how skin changes its form which was really interesting as I created many samples that reflected wrinkly skin and other things such as blood vessels. I kept trying to create something new each time so that I could Vary my Ideas, I found that my way of working with brainstorms helped me to a great extent as I quickly noted down anything that came to mind, I also did the same with my designs by drawing them down quickly which was useful and a better way of working because previously i could often find myself spending quite a lot of time thinking about designs rather than putting them down onto paper. From my first year I have learnt a variety of new techniques, and I now see myself been more confident in the work that I produce. I understand that it is a lot better and more effective to communicate your ideas and responses through drawings and samples rather than writing, as this method is a lot more interesting because you can see whether things work together which can be seen in front of you and also you can produce them in a variety of scales.

My burnt and distressed Maxi!!



This was the first stage of making my maxi skirt, I was creating my own fabric by weaving chiffon and organza together, I then Burnt into the fabric then distressed it to make it meet the requirements of my brief which was to choose 3 phrases, my chosen ones were:
  1. A form reulting from any such change
  2. Textiles- my discipline
  3. Weave- My technique

Hand in and Photoshoot!!

It was such a huge relief handing all my Interdisciplinary work in this morning. I then had something to look forward to in the afternoon, which was helping out with my third years photoshoot, which I was really excited about because I had really enjoyed my photography elective which was in Feb. So I felt that from this I could learn a whole new bunch of things. It was really rewarding contributing to the shoot. I was even asked to help with styling, and was also put in charge of hair and make up, which was great!!

Its Confetti Time!!!


Im really excited after working with my third year today. I was given loads of tasks such as going to town again to buy coloured paper and ribbon, I then took pictures of her toilles before moving onto the idea of her shoot which is on friday which im really looking forward to. The aim for the shoot is to make it really colourful and circus like. I was shown images that she had collected for inspiration for her shoot. I loved the idea of using confetti I just hope it turns out ok. To make the confetti i shredded lots of paper like little children do when they make pictures at school. Fingers crossed i chose the right colours.











Toilles

















Here are some images i took for my third year. These are her toilles for her collection that she has made. Some are only partly made

Crafts Package


Hangers- I really like how creative this hanger is.


Swing Tickets ...
There are many different types of swing tickets. These were inspirational and was used in my portfolio because there was such a variety of different shapes and sizes



I really like how creative this is. It is like meat but used as a swing ticket. This is inspirational as i could think about burning into my swing ticket for my crafts package.
