Talking pattern

⋅
Inspired by passionfruit using markers.
Technique of combining two different patterns together.
Using a black marker and a blue pencil , inspiration from chicken bone.
I went to my local junkyard where I took a photo of the mans tattoos who worked there and used different markers to draw from it.
inspired by houses and street lamp , using posca pens and markers.
Inspiration from a gallery visit to colour scape of the artist James Turell. here using mix media of post pen , blackmarker and crayons.
Done with markers on A5, inspired by the graves in Nunhead graveyard.
this was a fun experimental process where I trased with a pencil through wood to get texture on the white a4 paper , then I used three different colours to do different patterns . I very much like this one, had a lot of fun doing it.

Butterfly with different patterns that are stuck in my brain , I used a photo of mushrooms to make the tape of the butterfly , completely an accident. using a fine liner .

Reflection,

Starting from the beginning of the project, we were asked to go around London to seek inspiration for both of the tasks and to absorb all the colours around us so we could apply them to our work. My classmates and I were asked to go around Soho/Chinatown area to go and draw from things we saw and to take photos of different things; for example, we explored different shops and restaurants; I was looking at random things like teapots and plates because they had distinctive, beautiful art on them. I also took a bunch of inspiration from things around me, like my home, my furniture, everyday tasks and the people I was with.


In Task 1, I used a lot of mixed media such as acrylic paint, watercolour, markers, fine liner, collaging and pencil; by using all these different techniques, I could demonstrate my ideas differently. During that time, I went to different galleries and exhibitions, like the Colourscape and Saatchi gallery, which was perfect for my research.

Task 2, was the project about seeing a pattern and how we could look at something and make a pattern out of it, it could be very simple to spot a pattern if you really just took a moment to look. During this project, I was still exploring London and looking around to me what I found inspiring. These two tasks were the best way to start my three-year course in textile print, a lovely way to ease myself and get inspired.
