Animal Print

The American Indians primary source of clothing came from animal hide. I tried to imitate this using a weave and I also tried to fringe a suade substitute fabric. I used a sewing machine to zig zag across it like the patturns used by Naitive American's using beads.


I like this page as it is full of patturn and

Change of Plan

Starting with looking into the earliest form of culture and tradition, I began to copy cave painting, willow patturn and hierogliphics. These are all forms of narritive art, therefore it was a sensible decision to look at firstly Fransis Bacon's Triptychs' I am going to use the layout of the Triptyches as a format for the project. I looked at Lichtesein's Drowning Girl, Ohhh... Alright and Wham! as all of these are forms of narritive art, which links to compic books. The pop art movement naturally lead my to Andy Warhol whose style I am going to use throughout my sketchbook. I would like to look into "TeenCulture" which Pop art was aimed at and for a final peice I would like to use Fransis Bacon's Triptych to create 3 dresses as forms of narritive art.
