LAST CRITIQUE
During the last critique seniors Ramzy and Laura suggest I focus on the following:
-Play with scale more (that can also add depth).
-Pay attention to the positive and negative space that the icons and pattern is making.
-Combine more icons for content and interest.
Also, they suggest to turn any pattern into a real object (to put the pattern on something like a book, t-shirt, etc.) to see how it looks.
INSPIRATION
Considering I am working with Native American icons (with a pattern masked into them) I decided to search for more reason as to the layout and direction my patterns were going to take. With this in mind, I took a stroll down to the Nelson-Atkins Museum, right down the block. They recently opened a Native American exhibit. I was immediately taken back by all of the amazing art and artifacts that the exhibit was composed of. Here are some images I took via iPhone
After studying these pictures and already made patterns of mine, I will move forward trying to execute the feel and visual geometry Native Americans once did and continue to create today.
Wonderful research! Isn't the Native American wing fantastic?
ReplyDeleteI encourage you to bring in more patterning for this next stage. The patterns you create don't have to be limited to be made only from icons.
