Over the weekend I’ve been thinking about possible title and starting points for my Final Major Project. We are expected to produce work for our final unit of work which will be assessed by an examiner and exhibited later on in the summer. Throughout this year my work has been very feminine and delicate. I think I should move on from this style of work as I need to make improvements and develop my style further. Although I feel moving to far away from my current style would be a bad choice.
I knew that I wanted to do a project using bright vibrant colours but not necessarily in a delicate way. I also knew that I wanted to combine illustration and textiles in my work as this seems to be a consistency throughout and one I feel most inspiring!
I then had a discussion with a few tutors and friends which really helped me to decide on a theme for this unit of work. Illustrators often use bright and flowing colours and imagery in their work this is the reason they are the inspiration for my work. When a piece is complete it makes me feel proud about the piece of work I have finished and helps me to move forward with my ideas. Knowing I like to use bright and colourful fabrics and techniques I took the decision to use a sort of cultural theme such as, Japanese, Chinese or Indian. The colours and style of work these cultural places involve are really inspirational. Things such as the henna tattoo industry in India are fast growing and could influence my work in this project. The lines and shapes that are used in henna tattooing are naturally formed and flow around the shape of the body, in a sort of magical yet cultural way. Japanese are also inspirational with the use of ink and flowing lines and techniques.
Looking at the work of others will help me to decide on the theme and maybe more solidly about the style of my work i want to produce.
