Blogging Task

When I first started the project I did not have a clue where to start. I didn’t know where I had been that could inspire the work I was about to do. It seemed so broad I found it a little scary. When I decided I was going to choose Cornwall the Eden project, I had lots of imagery and thought that this could be a good starting point, as well as it being one of my favourite places, although it still took me a long time to get into it. I wasn’t sure what I would do, I wanted to do something that was different to what I usually do, but doing this by the skills I had already gained from my previous workshop.

I think I could have used my sketchbook better and documented more of the work that I have found in my research. I also think that from start off well on the group blog it became more difficult in the middle of the project, remembering to blog to both group and personal blog. I think I should have made myself write on blog every day and maybe this would have helped me within my other work such as my sketchbook.

If I was to do this project again I would get stuck into the project straight away, I think unfortunately thinking about the project didn’t make a good start. I would also think more about scale, not forget that this is for a building of great size. I would have looked into the hidden parts of gardens sooner as this is when I felt that I had some direction with my project. 

I am pleased that I continued with embroidery and that I have been able to explore more with different feet, as well as teaming with mixed media. I like how I have showed my samples I think it shows a clear view of my work and also believe that it flows with imagery to show my journey of work. If I was to do the project again I would have done more sampling to further my ideas.

I was quite pleased with my final designs and thought that photo-shop helped me express my ideas.
