Fison-Zair by Katy Aston
A couple of weeks ago Katy Aston, a previous Art Foundation student, came in to give a talk about what she did at University and how she'd progressed since leaving. After the talk I was left with the decision to do textiles. I just loved the patterns she had created using print both digitally and by hand. She made some really vibrant, eye catching cushions and various swatches, by printing onto velvet and just looking at them makes me want to feel the gorgeous velvet. Her prints also include PEGS! So I'll be definitely looking at her work for some inspiration.
New Project!
So I passed my assessment! (YAY) Its such a relief to finally have it all handed it and not to have to worry about it anymore! Today we were given a mini project just to do over the next week, we were each given an object and we have a to fill a sketchbook with ideas based on the object we were given. My object was..... a peg! I was fairly happy with it though because I've already got a few ideas to do with print and observational drawing, I'll keep the blog up to date with how the projects progressing and the idea's that I'm developing.

Graphics - Collapse
This week we were given 6 words and we had to create abstract collages to represent the words, at first it was really difficult to come up with so many different ideas for each word but in the end I was really happy with my final idea, I like the way its only black and white as I don't think "collapse" is a very colourful word, because it brings up images of destruction which I imagine as being very dark. I also like the way the words fall in the same way the blocks are falling. Over all I'm really happy with the outcome of Graphics week.

Noma Bar
I find this artist, and this piece in particular really very interesting because of the way he uses the negative space to create and image inside an image, at first glance the viewer only sees one image or the other, but when you look closer you notice the other. Both images are linked together with a topic for example hoodies and teenagers seen as troublemakers and arsonists, which is why the the match is within the hoody. I really find it interesting how he links the colours and both images to a certain topic.

I really like this piece because of how simple it is, there is no detail to the drawings and I think this makes it look almost childlike. By using just two colours the designer makes the table that bit more simple but still looks finishes, anymore colours or detail would look too much.

I love the colours used in this poster, the brightness and contrast between the colours really catches the eye and makes the whole thing stand out. The way the writing is overlapped and slightly transparent does make it look like stained glass and I think its really clever how the designer matched the typography to the event.
Alan Fletcher
I really like this image because if I can use the phrase "does what it says on the tin", the paint is obviously wet because its dripped so it just states the obvious. I think this makes the usual Wet Paint sign so much more interesting by using bright colours and not making the letters perfectly neat and tidy, perhaps by using stick and ink.
Stefan Sagmeister
This piece really caught my eye because of the way its not just written on a piece of paper or painted on canvas, he's made a mundane piece of fruit into a really interesting piece of art. I think its really interesting how he's created something really original just by taking what might have been just a doodle and reworked it to create this.
