Silhouette investigation progress

[k00252791]

Silhoette workshop (19/04/2021)

This workshop actually allowed me to get out of my comfort zone because i am used to drawing silhouette mostly inspired by the theme behind the lineup but with this workshop i was able to create silhouette that doesnt need to have a theme behind it or an inspiration and from already made clothes.

Items Used

Silhoutte investigating

Final line up

The reason i chose those fabrics is because they relate to the theme of the collection. Fabrics also adds visual representation in a collection ,for example the "Extraa personality " is more of royal and extravagance i would use the Duchess satin in making the garment because satin fabric has richeness and is exotic fabric when used to make a garment, it has a glamourous visual defination on its own.

MAKING THE CROWN

[k00252791]

Personality #1

[k00252791]

I decided to create a catagory of look (makeup +outfit) based on each personality, photograph myself and create a moodboard of each transition the likes of what i am thinking, what i like, what i might be doing during this personality and what i would be willing to wear if i go out etc.

Mindmap:

[k00252791]

I chose a lyric from a song that inspired me to create a fashion lineup from the different transition in personalities.

The Song is called "Fly" by Nicki Minaj featuring Rihanna and the part from the lyric i chose says

Sometimes i like looking way too Extra dramatic, sometimes minimalistic style or Very flamboyant like Renaissance period or Feeling of Love and beauty nature inspired and sometimes nothing at all.

My Story

Transition between Personalities

I have different personalities which often drives me to be inspired with each personality to create art, design or a physical response to it as in dressing up and creating a whole different personality from my usual self. Watching animation is my favorite thing on TV and also TV shows that has alot of fantasy and imagination genre, Drag Race show excits me because its very exotic and fun.

"Inside Out" would be my favourite animation that best describes the transition of personalities in me because to me the movie shows me that its okay to have many personlities at different stages that define you,especially during this pandemic its hard to meet with friend and people therefore you have to create a source of companionship for yourself.

Fashion Elective (Lineup Workshop)

I chose this moodboard as a source of inspiration for my line up.

The reason for me choosing this moodboard because this is a line up intended to inspire women to be empowered, embrace their feminity, body and beauty with confidence.

I made color swatches from paint on a paper and I also done it digitally.

Movin to figures I played with the color swatches around the body just an abstract composition to have of view on how the colors play along each other.

Forms and Silhouettes

I was exploring forms that describes the line up statement and more over in organic shapes and feminine figure silhouettes.

I am still exploring shapes and forms that best describes my moodboard source inspiration.

Ceramics Elective(3d grid form from mark making)

I made it in layers format top each other with the background which is the negative section of the image made of a cornflakes box because I was inspired by the work of Patrick Cabral  Philippines artist  creates 3-dimensional paper portraits of endangered animals featuring layers of lace inspired cut outs of paper.

If I was to make it on clay I would use the additive, repetitive and layering technique because It gives the design on a clay that 3D effect.

[k00252791]

Ceramics Elective (Translation of mark making to 3D)

When I was exploring mark making I was focused on repetitive pattern, irregular shapes and rotation gesture/sequence.

From this mark making I selected a section with a view finder  and explored different ways of cutting the positive section and negative section of the picture.

Each cutting method has different outcomes, the blade and scissors gave a sharp edge unlike the tearing with water, its more easier to get in corners.
