Nature project

For the last few weeks for my nature project I have been doing lots of A2 research sheets on Artists, primary research, secondary research and ceramics ideas. These have helped me to develop my ideas for the workshops so my work becomes more refined. 

Sheet on textile designer Laura Ashley 

This sheet is on a well know textile designer called Laura Ashley who designs patterns for everything from curtains to cups. Her designs are inspired by nature and most of them are quite floral. I like her work because it is feminine and girly and something I would buy myself.

Ceramics ideas

This page is on some ideas that I used in ceramics. I thought it would be a good idea to make this to show that I have researched all the insects or flowers that I might have used in my clay work. It isn't the best page I have made but it is good enough to show that I have put work and effort into making and designing my ceramics work.

Sheet on primary research NO.1

This is my first sheet on primary research that is focused on Giraffes and Flamingos. The pictures were took by me when I visited Whipsnade Zoo in London. I love that I took close ups of the Giraffe while I was there and then was able to collage them together to make two Giraffes. I really enjoyed making this page and I find it very attractive and detailed.

Sheet on primary research NO.2

This is the second sheet on primary research that is full of critical studies done in pencil (HB, 2B etc.) and coloured pencil. I am pleased with the page because of the realistic looking studies of the animals they turned out amazingly well it is really effective.

Sheet on Animal textiles

This sheet is on animal textiles that show different animal skins on textured paper. I did this page by picking up papers with animal skins on them up from shops and around the house. I thought it would look good to show I have explored prints that other people have made.

A4 sheet spider diagram

I also made a spider diagram at the beginning of the project to brainstorm ideas about nature. There are many aspects of nature to look at and these are just a few I have put onto paper.
