PROJECT THREE: EXHIBITION DISPLAY

The materials I used for this project: -CORK PAPER -CARDBOARD -PLAY-DOH -WOOD -PAPER -ACRYLIC PLASTIC -FABRIC I will display the materials in a photo below. I used nails and glue as fixing techniques; glue : to join the two parts of the roof of the little house, to join pieces of paper that form the

EXERCISE 3.21: LIGHT ON COLOUR

In your home (or a café/library etc), identify a wall the sun falls across and return to photograph it multiple times during the course of a day. Try to select the most colourful wall you can, though you may want to experiment with a range of different surfaces. Crop your images into squares, print them

EXERCISE 3.20: UNDERSTANDING COLOUR

Draw two grids of squares, filling one with colours that you like and the other with colours you dislike. Then put the two grids side by side and ask the question ‘which one looks better?’ We tend to like vivid colour more because they enhance our personality, brighten up our days and make us think

EXERCISE 3.19: TEMPERATURE

Research examples of ‘cool’ and ‘warm’ colour spaces – collecting images of interiors which might range from a health spa to a nightclub and more. Giving attention to lighting and finishes, describe how you think each effect might have been achieved and explain what feelings they have been designed to evoke. Re-draw, paint or collage

EXERCISE 3.18: RULES

Find example images that follow the 10-30-60 rule and others that break it. Search in nature or find objects or trinkets around the house that have colours you like. Organise them into any arrangement where they are almost touching and draw or paint them.Try to explain why these are your favourite colours and why being

EXERCISE 3.17: FINDING HUES

Identify the three primary hues, three secondary hues, and six tertiary hues between the primaries and secondaries in colour theory, then design and draw or paint or collage a work inspired by the colour wheel and annotate it.

EXERCISE 3.16: RHYTHM

Research and critically analyse Fibonacci, the Golden Ratio, Mandelbrot spirals and any other spatial ratios you can discover. A simplification of the golden ratio is the Rule of Thirds or 2:3, in which space is divided into two thirds, the larger portion housing the elements that define the main use, leaving the final third for

EXERCISE 3.15:ART

Following on from the work of these artists, research another artist/artwork exploring pattern in a curated interior space. Ask questions about their use of pattern, do they treat it as infinitely unrepeatable, or is there rhythm and repetition in their work? In your sketchbook, present a critical appraisal of their art with words and images

EXERCISE 3.13: DIRECTION

Choose a directional type and a motif to design a pattern and hand draw a sample of it over at least A3 size. If you can, also experiment with 2D CAD programs to create further patterns by drawing lines or shapes and using cut and paste to duplicate, rotate or reposition elements. The pattern I

EXERCISE 3.12: SEEING PATTERNS

Research and draw (or photograph) more patterns found on objects or surfaces, in packaging in interiors, in architecture or in nature and study these images to find the repeating motifs within them. Can you see where a core pattern joins onto its repeated clone to form the pattern? Mark on the images to indicate these
