FMP: More Samples

These are my printing samples. I loved doing these but I don't like that some have miss printed in places. 

These are fabric I have dyed for some samples. 

My first ever print with this screen.

These two are the only prints that missed badly. (The two below) 

I think this print went like this because I didn't put enough ink on the screen before I printed. 

These three samples below are puff binder and I have mixed them with pigment so they are coloured. 

These two samples are ink on paper. 

FMP: Final Design Sheet

These are my Final Design Sheets. This shows different ways a could do my final piece. I like both these sheets because they give you a look to see what you would like your final piece to look like. 

On this first sheet I used watercolours for my backgrounds of my wall hanging diagrams. I used pencil to draw everything and I went over some of it with a fine liner. 

 

This is my second Final Design Sheet i prefer this design but I know my print isn't as busy as that I have drawn. On this page I have used pencil to draw everything I then drew round most of it with fine liner. 

 

FMP: Development Sheets

These are my Development Sheets. 

This is my First Development Sheet. On this sheet I used watercolours, gouache and fine liner, I loved using these materials together. As I said on my Visual sheets post I tried the large patterns and I preferred  theses larger patterns so I decided to use them on my Development Sheets. 

I also used the larger patterns here but on this sheet I only used gouache and fine liner. 

On this sheet I used Watercolours and Fine liner, I feel that this  is one of my best because I love this combination of watercolour and fine liner. 

FMP: Samples

This is one of the samples I did in the half term break. This is my embroidery sample. 

 

This is the second sample I did in the half term also but this is a needle felting sample but I tried to get the Moroccan pattern. 

 

This is also a needle felting sample I did in the half term. I also tried getting the 'Moroccan Pattern' on this sample. 

 

This is a tech ique that is new to me this is called Fabric Making and I loved doing this technique as it was something new to me. I loved using different materials all together. But this is made from goin fabric so it isn't fabric I have made. 

 

This is also a fabric making sample but this sample was made from fabric I dyed. So with this sample I dyed the fabrics and got to choose my own colours, this ment I could match it with the colours I have used through this project.  

 

Here you can see that with the sewing machine i use I wrote the words 'morocco' and 'henna'. 

 

This is my catboats loom sample. On this sample I divided to use greens, yellows and browns with a little colour. I divided to use felt instead of the normal yarn. I like this sample as it looks Moroccan like. 

 

This is also a cardboard loom sample I used also used felt in this. I love the effect I gives. 

 

This is my one of my knitting sample.

FMP: Visual Sheets

These are my visual sheets. 

On the first I used watercolours and fine liner. I really like this sheet but I later realised that these patterns would be way to small on a tracing so my next sheet would be with larger patterns. 

 

On my second visual sheet I used watercolours, gouache and fine liner. As you can see this sheet is very different to the other this is because I wanted to paint some of the pattern so I have to make them bigger and I wouldnt be able to paint tiny patterns. 

FMP: Morocco Artist Research

For my Artist Research I chose two different artists. 

One being John Robshaw, he is a very inspiring man who does a lot of different pattern and his team of printers also makes all there own printing patterns/shape/stamps with some kind of wood, I think that espeically is amazing. 

My Second Artist is called Genevieve 'Nev' Levin. She is a 'small time' henna artist, who has done some amazing henna. She is one of the best henna artists I have ever seen. 

FMP: Moroccan Mood boards

These mood boards are the start of my project. 

This is my first mood board, on this mood board I used secondary research, watercolours, pencil and fine liner.

This is my Second Mood Board, on this mood board I used brown paper, masking tape, secondary research (photos), pencil and fine liner. 

 

This is my Third Mood Boards, I prefer this mood board as I got to try out a new material called guatta this is a paste like material that dry raised, it's also like henna but for material and paper. The materials I used on this mood board are Secondry research (photos), fine liner, watercolours and guatta. 

This is my fourth mood board this is inspired by my main artist John Robshaw I liked how he uses his colour. The materials on this page are Secondry research (photos), fine liner, pencil, watercolours and gouache. 

FMP: Morocco

My theme is Morocco. I want to focus mainly on Moroccan culture, paying particular attention to the architecture, the shapes, patterns, colour and textures of the buildings. Also the souks (markets) are a very inspirational as they are very colourful, the products on these markets are so different from food and drink to bright fabrics and footwear. For another part of the project I will research the Moroccan language; I will be looking into Arabic language and symbols. By doing this I could incorporate text/typography into this project. 

To document my project I will use a Sketchbook and Sheet work. In this sketchbook I'm going to put my artist research and theme research. I will try to make my sketchbook interesting: I will do this by using different techniques and materials e.g. Water colours, gouache, different types of paper, pictures and text. 

The techniques I would like to use many processes and techniques in the project, I want to use lots of processes because I think they will support my project very well. I want to use loads of different Moroccan patterns and colours. I think that batik and screen print will go very well with this project but I want to try and use more than that just like embroidery on the sewing machines. Another technique I will try is henna I will try and get some henna and do patterns on myself this will also class as research. I will ask a islamis/Muslim friend to get me some henna that she uses.
