MODULE 3 CHAPTER 11

MODULE 3 CHAPTER 11 DESIGN FOR THIRD ASSESSMENT PIECE IMAGE 1 ( SIZE A2) Initial thoughts on a design for the third assessment piece. In researching textile artists who use construction techniques I came across 4 words which planted a seed of an idea for the next assessment piece-- Simple Shapes, Texture and Repetition I then returned to my main marine theme and looked at previous design/ sample exercises . I looked again at my Sails in the resoved knitted sample and then back at Module 1 Chapter 10 (blog images 34-38), patterns of repeating sails. I looked at my collection of shell barnacle/ sea creature pictures and began to draw some shapes, some singly and others repeated in different sizes and groupings. My idea would be to construct a long narrow panel with a series of sail shapes, each stitched over with a series of shell shapes.On each individual panel there would be a repetition of the same basic shape but in different sizes and groupings, range of colours and textures. I would hope to retain some translucence in each individual sail and mount them out from the background so that they overlapped . I experimented with some of the colours in the A5 sheet at the bottom left of the board .At the bottom right of the board there is the beginning of the shapes along the panel. I think I would work in a narrow horizontal , rather than a vertical strip.
