You’ve created some lovely work. Its very visually pleasing. I love the range of mixed media you’ve used throughout both sections. The talking colour section is very colourful and you’ve used a wide range of shades. I really liked how you’ve used coloured paper to create a coloured background instead of just using a white background. The range of mixed media used creates textures and shows real life shadows and other real life textures. Drawing number six is really nice and I can definitely see the texture you are trying portray, especially in the right hand corner. Id love to see this potential texture developed as knit I think it would work really well. Your drawing number seven is really interesting I love the white chalk contrasting with the black background, however I don’t feel like it portrays the theme of talking colour very well. I think it would be have been really effective and more fitting if you used colourful chalk for your drawing rather than white. For your talking pattern drawings you’ve used a range of media again. You’ve explored a wide range of patterns. I really like the textured background used on drawing number five. I also really like how you connected drawing nine and ten and further explored the pattern and how a repeat pattern might look. I think the links between pattern seven and eight are really nice. The way you have looked at a spiders web from a far then looked at it zoomed in is very defective and id love to see how you could explore the spider web pattern further.
Before this task, I had rarely looked so closely at the colours and patterns of things around me.
I used to be more interested in designing womenswear, so I would look at things as a whole, first looking at the shape and structure of the item rather than the texture. But since I have changed my direction to designing textiles, I have started to look at things around me in more detail.
In talking colour, I did some paintings in Tate Britain. This was supposed to be an ordinary trip to a museum after school. Still, when I stepped into the modern art pavilion after seeing the beautiful realistic paintings of British classical artists, I felt a different power. Contemporary art was wild and vivid in contrast to classical art, and this made me resist the urge to use colour more boldly to depict them. Apart from these, the other paintings in these two tasks are more my depictions of things in nature, such as bubbles in fountains, textures in wood, wildflowers in the grass, dead wood stretching to its fullest, glowing jellyfish in the oceanarium and so on. I have also experimented with tools other than acrylics, watercolours, coloured pencils and oil pastels, such as texture gel, honeycomb-effect paint and additional tools that I have rarely tried before to create the mechanism I want. I also painted a small part of something. I imported it into photoshop to create the repetitive print effect I wanted, which was an interesting experiment I had never done before.
Overall this task allowed me to use and match colours better and to look at things more closely.
