Textiles Practicals

Year 9&10 Textiles

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. 






Photography


These are some examples of my photography for my AS Art High and Low project.

Sketchbook work

Art AS Sketchbook work

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.

AS Textiles Developed Designs 3

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.





Art AS Project High and Low

Alice in Wonderland Skirt 55x60cm

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.







Art AS High and Low Final Piece

Art AS Alice in Wonderland Apron 102x55cm


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.







Art AS Manicure Final Piece

 Art AS Manicure final piece 94x37x40cm

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.
