Black and White Project

Monday 19th= We officially started our black and white project today. we were given a powerpoint on ideas that Sarah our tutor had on the theme, it was really interesting I took notes on some of the artists and designers that she put in it. After the presentation I decided to go to the library and do research into the notes that I had made. I did that all morning on a computer and had different ideas and influences from other artists and designers form my initial research. After lunch I had the second half of my library induction which showed me the different magazines and websites that I can use to help my studies. I went back to class after the induction and was told that I could carry on with my research if I wanted, as I hadnt finished it I too this opertunity. I looked through lots of books of different artists and designers that I had thought would be useful in my research on the computer. Not all of them were what I was hoping for but I took out 5 books that I think will be able to help me on my project. I have been thinking all day what I am going to make and what body part I shall make it for, I have decided that I am going to make a cuff for a sleeve. After uni I went into Poole and bought a shirt that I think will go well with the design I have in my head. as the week progresses and I design my cuff, make it, develop it etc, the shirt might not fit into the project, time will tell but I am not going to make my project work around the shirt.
