SL Visual Arts

Textiles Project

Hi Everyone!

     Lately in Visual Arts SL we've been working a project based on textile patterns. The whole purpose of our textiles project is to create a costume or outfit design and find the materials/fabrics we would like to use for a costume or outfit design. Of course, everything is drawn out in our sketch books so we can keep up with everything we've done. Once we've finished our costume or outfit design, we must design a textile pattern/woven piece (think of it as a logo). Then, we must decide where we would place our textile/woven piece on our outfit/costume design . Once again, everything is drawn out but nothing is actually created (we don't actually bring our design ideas to life). Our final piece is the textile pattern/woven piece that we must make out of yarn with the color of our choice and our outfit/costume design. For example, here's mine :

     Above represents my textile project. I would place my textile pattern/woven piece on the breast pocket of my outfit design and those would be the colors and materials/fabrics of choice I would use. Since I have finished my textile project, I am now working on a comparative study which is something you have to complete once you've done a project.This is what the students of Visual Arts SL art currently working on. Also, our comparative study does not have to relate to our most recent project (textiles). We can choose anything/anyone we want, which makes a comparative study hard: having the free range to choose who and what you want instead of your teacher telling you who and what to do. However, it is exciting because doing a comparative study is like studying Art History. 

*Remember: Always ask questions when you aren't sure of something. I say this because I was very confused about a comparative study. I almost did a comparative study on six pieces of art works because I thought I was supposed to choose three per artist, but no it was one per artist. I would've probably had to pull an all-nighter if I didn’t confirm the assignment with my teacher.
