I had a really fun day on Friday, we made a full size bodice block from scratch in a size 12. It was really good to get back into the mathematical side of fashion! its not been done for a while! I'm looking forward experimenting with the shape of it and working in fabric at a later date.
On Monday i had a really difficult critical studies lesson, i found it hard to get my head round a few things and I'm struggling on what to do for my final power point presentation, i think i will get my head round it after a few more reads through the texts.
In my private study time i have been working on some illustration techniques and trying to get better at drawing by just practicing and practicing. i have found i really like working with water colours charcoal and chalk, i think i can get quite a variety of marks with these, my favourite medium has always been fine liner and water, you can get a lovely grayish purple colour with it.
In the Tuesdays session we did a lot of work on a barbie doll, experimenting with different designs with fabrics and taking drawings and photographs from these. In the afternoon session we worked on full size mannequins using really big pieces of paper instead of fabric to create different shapes and to just get a feel of working full size. I think i got some really good results from it too so i will have a lot to work from in my private studies to fill up my sketch book.
