stitch and knit!

 'on the surface' visual research project. ba1. project 2.

today we got our final project for this term; STITCH AND KNIT. :)
our drawing themes had to be either;
- Natural / Organic 
or
- Industrial / Manmade

1. The Task
   • Choose a theme as a focus for your drawing
   • Make a collection of observational drawings from your chosen theme
   • Work onto and in colour
   • Build on and increase the skills you have learnt from the last project
   • Take further risks with your choice and use of media and processes and continue to develop your skill and knowledge in the handling and application of different media
2. • Your task is to interpret and evaluate your drawings into experimental hand and machine knitted and hand and machine stitched samples
     
     
     When you translate ideas through from your drawing you will need to consider the following:

1. • Marks - weights - light/heavy/
   • Quality - rough(textured)/smooth/soft/hard, thick/thin
   • Tonal contrasts – dark/light
