Day 18 - Monet in Fashion?




Monet in Fashion.

Settling into the ideas process in Fashion was quite slow and stiff because it was about bringing the 2D into 3D, which I found quite challenging because I had to visualise the 2D picture in 3D aspects. 


I didn't feel that my small structures represented ‘The Cliffs at Etretat’ very much because they appeared too abstract.



The explanation for these structures are that the coloured chalk on the paper represents the mixture of warm and cool tones that are in the painting. I used charcoal because it presented a rough texture on the paper, similar to the painting. Much of the small structures have been folded and have different levels of relief, which symbolise the waves and cliffs in the painting.

We had to then multiply our favourite structure on a larger scale multiple times. This task led to creating pieces of 'wearable art' made from other group's repeated pieces. I found this task quite rushed but enjoyable at the same time because the outcomes were unpredictable but if we had more time we could have created something slightly more meaningful.
