Summer Project
Object Trouveacute (found object)Throughout the last and current centuries artists and designers have been inspired by undistinguished - often modified - objects that are not normally considered art or design because they already have a non-art function Itrsquos the artist or designerrsquos aim to question any given form or object and to translate hisher answers to these questions into a series of new and needed solutions in the form of contemporary products and artefacts
For example artist Marcel Duchamp perfected the concept when he made a series of lsquoready madesrsquo and Pop artist Andy Warhol painted Coca Cola bottles and Campbellrsquos Soup cans Composers use lsquofound soundrsquo in their compositions - such as the likes of John Cage or The Slant and fashion designers such as Nicolas Ghesquiegravere (from Balenciaga) or rising talent such as Michel Van de Ham create innovative fashion collections inspired by found and mundane gizmos
Design taskFind an object in your immediate surroundings thatrsquos used in everyday life - the backyard of your garden the street a market or your friendrsquos bedroom and so on
Through observational drawing and photography explore your chosen object Think about texture form negative space different scales details Use your explorations to inform design ideas for either womenswear or menswear
Requirements
ndash A minimum of eight observational drawings and eight photographs
ndash Sketch one observational drawing per page ndash Create a series of design ideas that have been
directly inspired by each observational drawing andor photography ndash a minimum of three design ideas per observational drawing Include fabric swatches too
3D Observational ProjectFashion design ideas and concepts can be influenced and developed by a variety of sources - visual imagery costume architecture objects art and so on This summer project will start you on your journey to becoming a designer by engaging you in the design process
Choose a 3D object and through a series of observational drawings using a variety of media show that yoursquove analysed and understood the object
Experiment with a range of media and explore different drawing styles from inspirational artists
Please work in an A4 A3 sketchbook (cartridge paper)
Have fun with the summer project there are no restrictions to your creativity or experimentation You can design conceptually or commercially ndash most importantly lsquothink outside the boxrsquo
