Inspiration Workshop

I attended an Inspirations workshop on the 24th September with my group to help get a grasp of what I may need to do next within my drawings and have to have more ideas to work on.

My feedback consisted of: 

Trying out some more mark making and making those more abstract but also to not refine them within motifs.

Using mixed media to create rich and textured drawings.

work towards a colour scheme and perhaps narrow down my sources so that there is a correlation between drawings.

To have a look a WGSI online for upcoming trends. this will help me set a demographic for my designs.

Experiment with bleach and fabric dyes on paper.

Visit china town for more local oriental inspiration.

That afternoon I did take a trip to china town to look at the detail on the arch, (the photos I took however are on my phone which is currently being fixed, however, I shall work from them once I have it back)

I have also narrowed down my sources and am focusing on decorative Thai walls - ones seen at the Grand Palace.

On the 28th September i also attended a drawing workshop where we were asked to create 6 drawings. I chose to use: collaged, textured, scratched, overlaid, random and printed. I also took words from my sources and looked a peeling textures for my mark making.

i have also looked at using more mixed media in my drawings including using masking tapes, bleach and dyes, inks and a range of pens. Photos if these drawings shall follow in a fore coming post.
