Fashion and Textiles- Week 1

Initially at the start of the week we began drawing, different to 3D spacial, continuous line drawings, quick, blind etc. I didn't like this style, for me it was too messy, and didn't flow and the drawings were so quick it didn't give me a chance to think about what I was doing. Never the less it taught me about  positioning drawings onto the page and looking at their relationship to each other, moreover the speed of the drawings ment I got lots of work, in different styles and using different materails such as masking tape and looking at repitition which I found interesting.
Later on in the week I really liked producing the mini sketch books using different materials and looking at how you can layer the different materials, using different opacities, textures and stiching. I found this generated lots of different ideas about how the materials could work together. Therefore on Wednesday, unhappy with my large sketch book I ripped it apart and using ideas from the mini books I successfully reproduced it, layering and cutting out the drawings and positioning them with more thought than I had intially.
Overall I found the week interesting, although the style of the drawings was intially dawnting, having experimented through the week I am beginning to understand how different weights of material can work together which I feel will be important next week!!!
