Week ending 23 January 2015 – Reading week

Studio Practice 2

The reading week provided the ideal time to prepare the mid-module pro forma.  So the mid module pro forma is all typed up and ready to submit to tutors. 

I have touched base with the graphic student who is helping with a professional business card for the exhibition.  We will be meeting up soon to discuss ideas.   

The audio recording of the sound story has downloaded onto the website.

Development Ideas - Photographic acetate and textiles

Feelings

 The photographic acetate and textiles  represent the memory swatches of our identity.  The sustainability of the project with recycled textiles will be achieved with an upcycled project of found objects. 

Evaluation

Clothing tells a story to society with symbols of self and place. The ethic of recalling lost memory and lively communication links to the celebratiory response of the project and to the Contextual theme of  identity and memory

The  weakness is a viewer might not understand the meaning.  The lost of emphasis to textiles is another weakness. 

Conclusion

The family photographs  need to be the focus of the story.  Textiles layers with negative images will strengthen focus of project. 

Action Plan

An opportunity to focus on photographs and meet the aims of the project that were inspired by the family album  

Contextual Studies

The draft essay has been reviewed by tutor and his feedback has good points and bad points.  So back to the drawing board again.  I am remaining positive.
