These two bags are my year nine and ten textiles projects. The brief for the lion rucksack was a bag suitable for a child. The second bag was an eco friendly design made out of all recycled materials.
These are pages taken from my sketch books for my two AS Art
projects ‘High and Low’ and ‘Manicure’. For these projects I researched several
artists that inspired me and created responses to their work.
These are my designs for my A Level G21 project. On the left
are my initial designs and on the right are my developed designs, then further
developed using CAD.
Below are pictures of some of my develop designs modelled. I'm still working on this project and am currently finishing more mocs in order to develop them further to make my final design.
For my A Level Textiles project I am using a brief set by
George at Asda to create a range for their G21 range collaborating with a chosen
designer for inspiration; I used Versace.
The pages below are:
Mood Board and Brief
Research on Versace and Fashion Forecasting
Life of a Garment research concluded from a trip to George
For my AS Textiles project for my third page of designs I
developed the possibility of lining, padding, sleeves, hood or change of
colour/design. The two developments I chose to model were the cotton lining and
the wadding between materials.
For my AS Textiles project for my second page of designs I
developed the shape of the jacket. The two developments I chose were pull
string and toggle around the waist and bottom of the jacket and an elasticated
waistband.
For my AS Textiles project we had to take an existing
product with problems and develop it. I chose the high visibility waistcoat as
it has no shape, doesn’t fit its users, the velcro comes undone easily, it’s
not very appealing, is very flimsy and not very warm. In my first page of
designs I developed the fastening. I then chose two designs and modelled them;
I chose a zip and a hook and eye.
For my project ‘High and Low’ for my coursework I sewed book
pages, image maker photography, heat transfer illustrations, monoprints and
playing cards onto a skirt. I used many artists to get inspiration for this
such as Kristen Morgin and Ryan Novelline.
For my project ‘High and Low’ for my final piece I made an
Alice in Wonderland Apron. On the apron I used image maker to transfer my
photography to material, heat transfers of illustrations so I could sew over
them, felt making across the belt to sew into and monoprints onto book pages.
All of these were then appliquéd onto the apron.
For my project ‘Manicure’ for my final piece I decorated a
dressing table and mirror. On the dressing table were three pictures I drew in
pencil and water colour and pieces of makeup and fake nails collaged in beauty
magazines. On the mirror I used my own photography of someone dressing up. I used
the theme of Marilyn Monroe and how her persona masquerades Norma Jean. I linked
this to manicure because many girls cover up using beauty products to make
themselves look better, therefore hiding their real selves as Marilyn did.
