Thursday 28 March 2024
Bookings will close on Wednesday 27 March
This is the day which brings it all together: working from research materials you have drawn, photographed or collected, you will look at what goes in to creating a design, and think about what stitches, threads and fabrics. You will need to have done at least Drawing Basics first, or have some equivalent experience.
On this day you will:
• Consider different ways of collecting and storing ideas in different forms.
• Learn some principles of composition and design: divine proportion, lines of action, scale, repetition and harmony.
• Practise these in some drawing.
• Understand how to select and bring together mark making, tone and colour.
• Consider how these operate within textiles: what properties do thread, fabric and stitch have.
• Go through the design process to create a sample design from a brief provided by the tutor.
There will be plenty of time to work on a design from your own source materials, and Caroline will go round every student to discuss your work. We will start with some observational drawing practise.
This class is Day 4 of a structured course of 4 days, designed to offer you a progression in drawing and design right from the beginning. Day 1 and Day 2, Drawing Basics introduce you to the most fundamental skills of drawing and seeing as an artist, explored through traditional principles, and Day 3, gives an introduction to Colour Theory, You can choose whether to do them all, and when you’d like to take them.
