FIT!!!

Yesterday I got an acceptance letter from FIT!!!!

AHHHHHHHH!!!!

I am so excited!! ! ! ! !  ! ! ! ! !

just wanted to tell my followers I will be going to school for my passion, textile/surface design, in the fall!!!

Presentation Preparation

For my final W.I.S.E presentation, on May 2nd, I plan on doing a gallery sort of thing. 


I have not decided on the location, whether it be in the senior cafeteria, or near the auditorium. 


I have realized how much work I have done since I had to mount it all on black chip board. 


I probably have 70 things to hang, around there. I might cut things out because there is so much!


I made a list of how I want the gallery to go:

-college essay, how I am a chameleon and art is my sun

-start at renderings of flowers from Junior Year and talk about my introduction to textiles

-first time at FIT, (peacock painting, wood painting, nesting doll drawing) talk about commute and how I loved it

-first pattern, making it with Brooks, and section in my college essay about creating it

- second time at FIT ( man, torso, purple lady portrait, watercolor man, man/woman drawing)

-talk about inspiration (FIT inspiration paragraph) and pictures of inspiring art, textile book  patterns

- doodles, the start of all my projects

- plate doodles and process to final plates made

-stationary made from plate designs

-making a plaid

-working with dye

-transformations

From Croque To Repeating

<><> 

    This was one of my first designs created on the computer. It is a croque








Then I created all of these repeating patterns:

 

This is one of my favorites.

This pattern was just a couple of the patterns I had already made just place on top on one another.

Tremendous Transformations

It all started out as a doodle

A doodle I thought would become a border, but somehow I decided to look at it differently.

 So I created this.

A croque, that I didn't know how to make repeat.

 But once I was taught, 

These are what were made.

Same for this little doodle, I created on the plane to Paris, France.

 That was then made into these:

 

 And then repeated into these actual patterns:

The last transformation.

A doodle made on the train home from the city.

Simply out of boredom.

                       

Created into this:

and then repeated:

I am very happy I was able to learn how to make REAL PATTERNS. 

MORE TO COME!

Inspired by Incredible Colors

Two amazing pieces of inspiration


These two pictures inspire to create pieces of work that have intense hues that work together. Just as well as these do.

This is a picture Cinque Terre in Italy. The colors of the houses are absolutely magnificent. So bright, and all work together so well.

This is ink in water. It is truly amazing. I love the colors and how it is all so free.
