Insperations for 3D workshop

Week One

My chosen words for the sampling project are robust and fragile. My first 3D workshop got me thinking straight away about how I was going to apply these words to my chosen workshop.

I started to look at designers such as Anne Sofi Madsen, Alexandra Verchueren, Una Burke and Sandra Blacklund.

A delicate garment by Anne Sofi Madsen, inspired me with ideas for the fragile side to my project

A very robust garment by Alexandra Verchueren, I really like the 3D repetitive shapes

Really drawn to this garment by Una Burke by how restricted it looks and the metal stoods

This garment by Sandra Blacklund really got my attention by the repeated shapes that give the garment a strong, robust look.

Reflection on Slouths Spies and Lies project

I found this project rather challenging as I was unsure about where to go with it from the start. I wasn't particularly sure about where I wanted to go with it and I lacked confidence with the work that I was producing and became very negative towards this project as I wasn't showing my best work. I definitely think that this showed through out my sketchbook as it lacked a lot of development and experimentation.
I didn't take as many photos as I should have done and should have taken the ideas that I produced at the start further instead of leaving them un finished. I should have taken more risked and done much more drawing to help my ideas flow more smoothly.
Although I didn't do as well as I could have done in this project I think that it has still been very beneficial to me as it has given me a much clearer idea about where I was going wrong and a better start towards my next project. The constructive criticism really helped point me in the right direction and I'm going to put this into practice with my next project. I know what I have to do to produce work at a higher level and how I will go about doing this. I will try to document my work more and do lots more experimentation with my workshops and understand that I need to take risks in order to move forward. The ideas that I produce in my sketchbook will be much clearer and I will document what inspired me to do this idea and where I am going to go with the idea instead of leaving it as a drawing. I understand that it is very important to realise what ideas worked and what didn't and why this has happened and that it is okay for things to go wrong as I have realised from this project as I have learned a lot from things not going to plan. After the feedback from my first project I am looking forward to starting the new project and challenging myself much more than I have been doing.
