Final Major Project

This term I started my final project of my degree (scary!). I decided to look at miniature flora and fauna, and the contrasting textures when combined. Below are some of my drawings that I have done for my initial research so far.

Inside/Outside Project Initial Research

For our first project this year, we have been given the title Inside/Outside. I have decided to look at the negative (inside) spaces in lace and iron gates for my research. Below are some of the drawings I have done so far.

Drawings from Shapeshift Project

Having found the images of testosterone crystals, I did a few drawings from sections of them as part of my research. I then visited the Natural History Museum to gain some first hand research in the form of drawings and photographs. 

More drawings for Carmen Miranda project

Apart from the fruit head dress being associated with Carmen Miranda, I also decided to look at the how she always wore so much jewellery and beads, not just around her neck but covering much of her upper body.

Last year for a fashion project, I produced a beaded top, so I decided to draw from this as further inspiration for my project.

Initial drawings for Carmen Miranda project

For the first lot of drawings I did for my project on Carmen Miranda, I put together a bowl of fruit inspired by the head dress she often wore. Below are the drawings I produced and some photos.
