FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT WITH SHARON TING & LOUISE ANDERSON

TPP1 Formative Assessment 

Thursday 3rd December 

Potential Creative Development 

• make more of the tension between the areas of space on the cloth 
• try working with really watered down pigment 
• consider the thread (different types of black thread, monofilament, hair) 
• consider stitching and then discharging to get a mottled effect 
• work on the depth of black / shades of black 
• you need to think about design development 
• the stitch needs to be more refined, it needs to be a thought, not an afterthought 
• paint and sketch design developments 

Action-ables 

• on your blog differentiate between tutorials , people responding to work and being in conversation 
• think about your site/location 
• keep eyes peeled for more information on main foyer group exhibition (this can act as your live project) 

Advice 

• beware of "wellbeing", a bit buzzwordy <<< you have to really be able to back this up 
• the selection of sewn samples apply themselves to fashion really well 
• installation & fabric construction could be two interlinking things but two different contexts 
• think about permanence & impermanence 
• find ways of suggesting 'garment' - relation to each other, to the body (steer away from mannequins) to obvious 
• there's lots of info here but don't let it throw you, just be selective and carry on 

Contextual References 

• Welcome Trust Exhibition "Dust" 

Notes of how I present

• try to answer given questions more directly, really listen to the question and avoid monologuing about something related but not the actual question 

*For example, sharon asked if I am working directly from shapes in my sketchbook or intuitively on the print table - the answer should have been "yes I am working intuitively". This keeps the conversation clear.
