fashionable stokings

When I hear those I think of runaways, fabrics, patterns, colors, dresses, hats and so on. Fashion textile rotation is so different from those words! The brief mention compress and expand. We were told to bring any-type of objects that are related to those words such as balloons (stretch), umbrella (could be expand) and stockings. On the first day we were put into groups of three and to create an installation with our objects within 15 minuets.











They are really weird and meaning less I think however we made continuos drawings directed by our tutors.

this was my first two minuet drawing

Can you see the light lines? we were told to draw by holding the pencil with our fingertips. Then we hold our pencil as if we're going to stab someone and draw on the same paper for 10 seconds.
 

Really liked this one. first we were told to draw without moving anything except our fingers, then our wrist, and finally we can draw moving our arms.

really like the drips

I had fun drawing this because there is no pressure of making them look precious. Its great to just draw and not think.

Back to basic

Drawing is still a very important skill in the foundation course. On the 2D to 3D blog post I mention that the 3D structures are inspired by photographs and drawings so here are some of my work.











Here are my drawings

Sorry about the yellowness of this photo! I forgot to change the white balance! hahaha



Overall I really liked 3D spatial. The first week was a little boring because of my weird looking instillation and we were just drawing. I like the second week, getting some structures done. What I most like about 3D spatial is that the field covers from architecture, furniture design until jewelry design.

People are suppose to give constructive critisisms about my work. They said that I had a lot of photographs and a consistent development of ideas. However I need to develop more on my drawings.
They also said that my work shows clear development from 2D to 3D. They suggest me to experiment with more modular and repetitive structure since my final pieces are not very modular.
They said that my photographs are interesting. However my friends said I can work more with same forms.

I think I keep it safe for this project! If i was going full speed i think i can do so much better. However because I wasnt clear about the final idea the result are better than I hoped and I'm very pleased about my work.

Here are the things I learn from this rotation:

1. Look around! Sometimes there are beatiful things you never notice befor and as a designer we should see anything common in a different way.

2. Not knowing the result is sometimes better and thats what thrilling in the design industry. "Experimentation"

3. Designers have design options, Aesthetic, Functional or Ornaments.

4. As a designer we have to be critical in experiencing life, we have to think of great solutions
Design is all about thingkin. Problem solving.

5. Sometimes having humor in design is good :D


Looking forward to Fashion Textile Rotation. xoxo

3D Spatial Part III

Enough with my selfishness, again I will be showing other students' great work! I'll let the pictures do the talking.











Loved this really cute sandwich box!



As you can see this 3D model is a chin rest! Not just the final piece but i really like her initial idea! is very unusual, out of the box and humorous as well.


This is her supporting work! her sketch book are also very three dimensional.





This is to keep your plastic bag's tidy :p


If you're sick of doing art just bump your head to this cute design!


We are all so relaxed after the presentation and the crit.


Admiring work or posing?
