Textiles Group Project

This was part of our 1 day introduction to fashion textiles-we got into groups of 5 in the afternoon to make a collaborative peice in about an hour, combining our ideas from our collages we did in the morning which were taken from our observational drawings of white shirts on hangers. We each did a section or the shirt, then put them all together at the end.

Tag You're It

2nd week of graphics we had one day projects-this one we were asked to make a "tag" for ourselves to put on the body. I got my hands in on the plastic lab to make this neckelace-so much fun! x

Mushrooms and Pen Lids

This week I started Graphic Deisign as one of my two chosen pathways. I was a bit skeptical at first if i had made the right desicion by chosing this pathway over jewelry design or fine art, but so far i am really enjoying it and excited about all the possibilities it allows. The first day was illustration, and we were meant to look at pen lids as well as a mushroom-this is to make us really look at the object, and had to do 16 drawings of each, a minute for each one.


After, we have to do 64 drawings, 32 derived from the pen lids, 32 from the mushroom-15 seconds for each one, but combining,enlarging, rotating, or repeating bits from our 1st set of drawings as we drew.

This next set is 32 drawings from the 64-this time being more selective of which drawings we worked with by combining the mushroom and pen sketches with 1 minute for each.

here are a few of the 32 close up that i looked at more for the next set.


this next set is 16-we could pick our own pace for these, but they had to be even more choosy, this time starting out much smaller since we had more space, this meant adding and refining more to each drawing. These were about 5-10 minutes for each.

As you can see, they start to resemble artices of clothing, most people turned them into more abstract patterns or illustrations but i couldn't help myself..


Now, we are supposed to do 2 more sets- a set of 8, and then a final set of 4 by the end of next week. These will be much more refined than the 16, each set taking longer and with more detail,etc. I cant wait to see the finished result, this was a very tiring day but i also really enjoyed it.

squirrel man

i was outside in this park area drawing, and this man on the bench kept making kissing sounds and i kept thinking, "what the hell" but then as i was watching him, a squirel kept coming up to him and the man would drop a nut to the squirel. he did this for about 5 minutes, and then i started talking to him he told me he goes there everyday! how cool is that. i wanna talk to animals. Kinda like eliza thornberry.
