20/10/13 Practice

Moving on from last week I have begun to enlarge my drawings and work on my colour scheme. Whilst the drawings still have a linear quality to them the lines started to appear as shapes which I like as it has given me more to work with. I have also worked on my colour scheme as before I was just using the colours that were available to me. From maps and travel schedules of Manchester, I extracted colours from the keys as it will begin to give more of an identity to my work.




I visited the Great Northern Contemporary Craft Fair in Spinningfields and it was a very worthwhile trip as it exposed me to what current artists and designers are making and how they are selling and promoting their work. I particularly liked the work of Ness Donnelly who intricately stitches geometric patterns onto paper to create images for the wall. Her context and method are similar to how I am intending my work to be seen and it has given me something to aim for and be motivated by.
