From Idea to Outcome.

As part of Les' pdp session he opened my eyes to the was people explore and conjure up ideas.
I need to have an active mind.
We experience things:
-senses:
-sight - how we all see things differently, see patterns and shapes we wouldn't normally see at first glance
-hearing- a piece may have a sound depending on the materials used.
-taste- in some cases, you can change a materials taste to make it interactive.
-smell- depending on what dyes, materials,processes you use you can change a textiles smell. This could work in favour of your aim or could conflict with it.
-touch- this is probably the idea that i find most interesting due to the direct interaction with the piece. I know when i look at someones work i just want too touch it!

For my project i would like to be able to use these as a source of interation, and therefore incorporating them into my work.
I have had a good think about what Les was saying about your work has to have a purpose, and to explore into the context of my work.

what do you want from the work?
what do you want an audience to do with your work?
Asking myself these questions will help me to portray my work in a better context.

After this we had to then analyse each others work to help progress forward..
I'm going to look at uses of

Colour-
Swan-white, oranges, blacks.
Flamingos-pinks and oranges
Ducks-greens, blues, browns

Scale-Work with a larger or smaller scale that i can repeat with alot of detail or blow up with a lot less detail.

Shapes- look into surfaces and feathers.
Contrasts- Black swan vs. Swan lake. Black and White.
