Meeting up with my other 3 friends on the course has helped me further extend my initial ideas form yesterday session. We discussed our ideas individually and gave feedback to one another. I explained how I wanted my design to be in a functional context and have a purpose. I showed my mini mood board of colourful buildings and it was suggested that I explored the theory of colour, thinking about mood in relation to colour. We discussed hostels, hospitals, children's bedrooms, sensory rooms and hospices. I like the thought of applying my work to a public area that can affect a variety of different people.
My fellow course members liked the idea of my drawing focus of urban architecture and colour, I just now need to decide my focus on sampling- do I want to solely weave or print or shall I combine them (my favourite). Will I be stuck for time? I am not hugely experienced in hanking up yarn, dyeing, coning then threading up the loom in a short space of time so this might hinder me? However I like to challenge myself and weaving on my rigid heddle loom is something that works well for me and I can imagine my first few drawings transferring into weave already-something to think about!
