Fashion Studio - Lines & Circles

Lines and Circles activity to enable us to become more free with our mark making. We then were asked to produce a number of drawings using this approach, which a found difficult as my sketches are quite sketchy. The following sketches demonstrate how in just a couple of minutes you can produce an image but the key is observation to ensure proportion is right and the overall angle of the body is suggesting what you see.

I feel here in this image I have made good use of the technique and really find it interesting how all the shapes interlink with each other. Additionally i feel this technique allows you to see lots of movement within the picture.

Here I have slipped back into my sketchy style, but tried to incorporate lines and circles where possible. I feel this image has a lot of character and really allows the audience to visually see the man's posture.

I really like this image and the position in which the model is sitting. I found it difficult to begin with to ensure that proportions were right, however I feel I approached this difficult pose well with a lot of observation.

This image i produced with very few lines, in doing this I beleive it has made it quite a strong image, and you can definatly get the impression the woman is leaning over.

For this week we have been asked to work on a particular concept and to interpret a particular in different ways. My group was given the word 'Twist'.

When thinking about the word 'twist' I develop various different thoughts, there being: natural aspects such as tree roots being twisted, the physiological side referring to how some people can be twisted with particular thoughts they may have, and lastly man made aspects such as rope and how this can be twisted to create knots.

There are many different interpretations of the words and with is this activity we were able to really think outside the box and create a wide illustrative piece of work in relation to our word.




Here are our mood boards illustrating: achitechturl aspects, nature, colour, metal, human body and twisted textiles! I feel all of the boards are very strong and really allow the audience to experience what the word twisted means to us as a group.

Here I have developed a mood board illustrating the twisted concept.  This is an exciting page with lots of colours and texture, which reallt adds to the feel of the page.
