Final Major Project Proposal.

Its nearly coming to the end of this academic year and also the end of the 2 year course, which only means one thing 'Final Major Project' 

I want to produce a series of wood cut prints using the bark of a cut down tree as well as a variety of other print processes.I will use the bark of the tree in many ways to create print impressions, I will ink it up before it has been carved and after. As a potential fashion designer I am interested in pattern as a surface on the body and as a domestic interior. This project will allow me to expand my making and designing skills in readiness for University.

I will spend some time with my fine art tutor discussing relevant designers and illustrators. As my starting point I will collect a strong body of research, finding relevant artist to cater for what I am trying to achieve. I will use the internet and library to research and discover, I will look at nature and patterns as well as textile designers who specialise a lot within natural pattern. I will use the internet and things like Pinterest to also discover crafts people and designers because it is a helpful tool. I will use my trip to Bristol to record certain patterns that may be found in architecture or museum findings. I will also visit places like margam park, bryngarw park and nature reserves I will look at animals like birds and different types of flowers.
