Belfast Exposed Gallery- Observation Sketches

Another Art Exhibition thats based on Belfast Exposed Gallery. Again, including a sketch of the space around the art work and i’ve sketched out the main areas that i found interesting. I’ve found that this Exhibiton was very minimal with there colour, but i really like the abstract pieces and those with great textures.

Golden Thread Gallery- Observation Sketches

Here are a few other observation sketches based on The Golden Thread Gallery. i’ve also included a sketch showing the space surrounding the area, which is a main focus on this inspiring Typograpghy piece. I’ve incorporated a range of other sketches that include different textures, shapes, colour and typographic lettering. I plan on choosing this exhibiton to work on throughout this project.

 

Mac Gallery- Observation sketches

Here are a few observation sketches based on the space surrounding the art work and the art work itself. I collected a variety of ideas including: colour, scale, shape, form and pattern, which i could then incorporate into my work.

Exhibition- The Mac Gallery

For this project I went to visit a few exhibitions. This exhibition is based in the Mac gallery, which is about 10 years of painting. I found this exhibition very interesting, especially the vivid colours used in some pieces, which I think is helpful as gives me inspiration of what to incorporate into my own work.

 

Graphic Design- Sketchbook Experimental Work

These are a series of mixed media experimental studies of Typographic words, letters, numbers and symbols. In some experimental pieces I have incorporated several media’s including: watercolour, pen, marker, coloured paper, photocopies etc.

I’ve also included any digital work that I created on figma as well as other mixed media pieces. I’d decided to work with what materials I had and make good use out of them, which created nice collages inspired by my first hand images.

 

 

Textile & Fashion- Presentation

This is a presentation of all completed work for my Fashion and Textiles project. This project was very enjoyable as I like to approach a lot of mixed media and experimental pieces. Working with a variety of materials and different approaches always helps generate ideas which you can incorporate into anything.

Textile & Fashion – Embroidery/stitching samples

These are a series of embroidery and stitch samples, experimenting with different stitches and colours.

These patterns are influenced by my paintings and collages and using a variety of stitches including: runnings stitches, back stitches, stem stitches, cross stitches, blanket stitches etc.

I’ve also incorporated other fabrics such as recycled denim, t- shirts, paper, felt and watercolour dyed fabric. I had a lot of enjoyment experimenting with fabrics and I like how they create a nice texture.

 

 

Textile & Fashion – Mixed media experimental

For this project my chosen words are based on 1950’s and citrus. For my colour scheme I’ll be using colours that relate to the theme including: orange, yellow, green and blue.

Here I’ve created a series of pattern ideas using a variety of media’s including: watercolour, pen, thread, paper collage, and embroidery.

I’ve really enjoyed experimenting with these materials and combining them together to create abstract pieces. Personally, I find that either embroidering or overlapping another piece of artwork really makes it interesting.
