I WEAR GLASSES ON MY FOREHEAD!

Model:Natasha Bhanji

 The object of the picture was to take a picture of someone wearing glasses so because I didn't have an actual pair, I used my innitative and drawed glasses on her hand and asked her to pose like the one above.
The image size was halfed. 

I like this image as it takes a good re-take on a boring idea.
I could of improved this by getting closer to the models face and her taking her bag off.

Caught in the moment.

   CONTRAST 

 This image was chosen because the contrasting of the bright coloured clothes compared to the white background creates a eye-catching image with the use of up to 5 different colours. From alarming mustard to the average black.

Japanese side of the project (my idea)

GEISHA !! 

As soon as I heard Japanese.My mind automatically thought of Geishas.

Their make up...

Their outfits...

 

Their way of life...  

Geisha, Geiko or Geigi are traditional, female Japanese entertainers whose skills include performing various Japanese arts such as classical music and dance.

With this I could do Geisha prints on the dress I make orrrr their style of dress.



Japanese designer - Yohji Yamamoto

So because of what I want to do at Uni...I started to think of how I can change up picture so even if others have the same image,mine looks different such as ;

Discovered so far... in all 3 subjects

LAYERS! LAYERS!LAYERS!


starts small and gets BIGGER!   

In Metamorphosis- Its always building up and up and up from nothing.
In Oragami- Starts from flat paper/material into a structured piece of art.
In Japan- Always growing and gettin larger in everyway possible. 


So after discovering from part 1 - my garment could possibly have layers as its linked between all three!

2. Sea of, the part of the Pacific ocean between Japan and mainland Asia.  

Japan to me- 

Japan is a country filled with Japanese culture.

Changing into fashion -
When I think of Japanese fashion I automatically think of Japanese females in the dresses the style of the collar,the layers they wear,the patterns,the silky satin material.

Yohji Yamamoto is a Japanese Designer who in some garments keeps the layering effect.

Summer Breif- (part 1) Explaining Origami

So orgami -
Now surely at least 1 person in someones whole family knows the classic origami game.
~You pick a colour then number and find out what the persons wrote underneath.By opening layers.




Wiki Explanation-
Origami (折り紙, from ori meaning "folding", and kami meaning "paper"; kami changes to gami due to rendaku) is the traditional Japanese art of paper folding, which started in the 17th century AD at the latest and was popularized outside Japan in the mid-1900s. It has since then evolved into a modern art form. The goal of this art is to transform a flat sheet of material into a finished sculpture through folding and sculpting techniques, and as such the use of cuts or glue are not considered to be origami.


Dictionary Explantion -
traditional Japanese art or technique a variety of decorative or representational forms, as of animals or flowers.

In my words-
Paper folding to create something structured.

Changing into fashion-
This ones obvious! I will have to go through different fabric techniques such as pleating to and folding and stichting to hold a certain shape. Such as points off the shoulder etc.

Such as designer - Gareth Pugh

Summer Breif- (part 1) Explaining Metamorphosis

So I already have an idea from the start of what i want to do and closely look into for this project but i think its best that i broaden my horizon and options by looking into different areas.


So metamorphosis-
Wikipedias' explanation
Metamorphosis is a biological process by which an animal physically develops after birth or hatching, involving a conspicuous and relatively abrupt change in the animal's body structure through cell growth and differentiation. Some insects, amphibians, mollusc's, crustaceans, Cnidarians, echinoderms and tunicates undergo metamorphosis, which is usually accompanied by a change of habitat or behavior.

Scientific usage of the term is exclusive, and is not applied to general aspects of cell growth, including rapid growth spurts. References to "metamorphosis" in mammals are imprecise and only colloquial, but historically idealist ideas of transformation and monadology, as in Goethe's Metamorphosis of Plants, influenced the development of ideas of evolution.

Dictionary Explanation -
any complete change in appearance, character, circumstances,

So basically in my words-
Growth ! Evolving! Change! 


Changing into fashion -
If I had to do my project purely around metamorphosis then I could make a garment have layers such as when you move a layer there could be something under-neath to show the garment expanding into something else.
Or even by pattern like the pattern could get more interesting as an overlapping layer moves.
Or the fabric size could start small gradually getting larger.
Or for example a dress could start tight at the top gradually getting looser or visa versa.

Hmm ideas ideas!

My Summer brief Project-

I have been set a summer project to collect info around metamorphosis , origami , and Japanese. This will all make up one project! With an interesting outcome.A crisp white garment!

So, so far over the holidays I've been thinking on what I can do.

So the next posts over time will be research over what I've been doing with this holiday homework!

New blog
