first year art and design third project natural frameworks

Natural Frameworks

For the Natural Frameworks project I visited a museum to collect primary research of natural objects and then developed some of the shapes and images from my sketchbook to create final outcomes for each area. For graphics I created four postcards for each season, spring, summer, autumn and winter. I used type for two of the postcards which was inspired by Nadia Flower and the other two was inspired by Stefan Sagmeister by creating type with natural objects. For 3D I created a piece that fit onto my body which was made using wire and metal. For fine are I did etching prints and also lino prints and I used two different compositions that I designed from primary research in my sketchbook. For textiles I designed and made a skirt using calico.



I chose three different shapes from the primary research in my book and then drew them around 3D shapes to create different kinds of body adornment.




This is a follow on of the first deign sheet , I chose some of the ideas on the first design sheet and then developed them further by changing them slightly and this helped me decide which part of the body I wanted to make a piece for and I chose the torso. 



This is my final sheet with the images of my final piece on it. I also drew a picture of it as well. I used wire to twist together which created chains that was used to attach everything together, I used two different metals to add interest.

This is my design sheet for textiles, I made different compositions from images in my sketchbook and then designed six different designs by choosing which colours and materials to use, I had the choice to make a skirt or a T-shirt and i chose a skirt.

This is the final outcome and I decided to use the composition with the snake on it. I used different techniques such as stitching, braiding and screen printing. I also used stitch to scrunch different shades of green material up which I then added to the bottom of the skirt which added interest. 





These are all of my final Lino prints for Fine Art I used different textures to print on to see what kind off effect it gave off, and I think that it looks successful. 

This is my my etching for Fine Art. It was quite hard creating these as it was hard to judge how much ink to use and how much ink to take off. 



This is my Graphics poster that represents summer I used those colours because they are bright like summer, and i used swirly patterns because it was influenced by Nadia Flower. I used the letter 'U' out of the word 'summer' because I liked the font that it was in. 



This is my Graphics postcard that I made for the season 'Winter' by breaking up sticks and spelling winter onto the pavement and I also added a few leaves in the background which made it look more like winter. 
This postcard is to represent Autumn I have used the letter 'A' and i added a tree with only a few leaves on it because in Autumn the leaves fall off all of the trees and i used orangey browny colours because thats what colours the leaves turn too in this season.

This is the postcard for the season spring. I did this in a Sagmeister style by breaking an egg shell up and spelling the word 'Spring' on a small plate and I have used the yolk to fill the bottom of the plate and placed the plate onto grass. Once I had printed out the image I wrote spring on it just incase people didnt realise what the poster was representing. 

This is part of my primary research and I used this bug and frog for my etching in Fine Art. I used them to create a composition and I added a few other objects in the background which brought the composition together. 


This is also part of my primary researched that I used for my Lino prints for Fine Art I also used this in a composition for screen printing in textiles. 

This is the snake I used for my final textiles skirt and I also used this in a composition with the butterfly for my Lino prints in Fine Art.
