week Two of FMP

week two she spoke us through how to make a basic pattern from the manniquin. then left us to experiment with the shapes based off our primary research drawings. i enjoyed being able to be create with how interpret my drawing. i made sure to write down how i feel about each sample as i went through. tuesday - we had a work shop today that was all about how to make paper yarn and natural dyes. i found the dyeing abit boring as its something ive already learnt previosly and i feel i was more looking to be pushed in this area. the paper yarn on the other hand i found very interesting as its not something ive seen or done before. unfortunily this did take up all of the lesson time for the day so i was slightly disappointed with the fact i couldnt get on with the work as it et me behind my time plan. Wednesday - i created some primary drawing today from still lifes of flowers, inkeeping with looking at flower power and the hippies. i found it theriputic todo as i was able to just take my time and focus on how the flowers layed together to create new shapes and structures. i tried a varity of techniques such as blind contour, left hand, right hand and speed drawing to help me develop more abstract shapes and lines. Thursday - we started with group crirtques which i found interesting but alos draining due to how long this is and how much time it takes up in my plan. i got the feed back of needing to be more indepth wiiht my research and make sure i have enough detail into my subcultures, so im going to focus on getting this done before pushing futuher. I also needed to start working on and into my book, so i started to make up some visual moodboards for cultureal origins, mods, rockers and the hippies. I felt this was important to have in my book because i wanted that visual references point to refer back to when i might be going down a rabit hole in my work.
