                                                      Environmentalists Ocean biologist Jacque Cousteau (1910-1997) was an inspiration when I was growing up and also for many people interested in ocean environmental and conservation issues. Recently Jaques Cousteau’s grandson has been part of a series of documentaries highlighting environmental and conservation issues of our planets oceans, he specializes in oceanography which is looking into scientific aspects of our oceans to better understand what is happening due to pollution and global warming issues. The sketch books to the left and below show some pencil drawing illustrations I would like to create some wall papers and fabric with either one shell drawing repeated with marl effect warn out blistered dried out backgrounds to add a tac...

What do I want to find out from my project? I am going to be looking at green eco conscious processes and also add knowledge about conservation biology to inform the viewer.  Firstly how I can make my own natural dyes/inks using traditional processes. ·          Researching ancient recipes from the middle ages in order to include ways to create art within eco conscious values (incorporating environmental needs to reduce global warming). ·           This will include developing my own dyes with added natural thickener to create screen printing inks for printing. This clip shows how you can easily create small screens to work from home. The demonstrator is also using home made inks.       The reasoning behind this is to reduce my carbon footprint by not using chemical dyes and also I will be reducing my package consumerism. Every time someone buys something from a shop it is packaged u...

Design Parameters My research will be about finding a balance between the traditional home spun processes of artisan craft and modern technologies making sure limited ecological damage is occurring as best as I can achieve.  Since becoming a designer some 20 or so years ago I have noted an interest in printed fabrics, I however choose to study knitwear design as I was interested in textiles as well as fashion and knitwear bridged a cap for me. In a similar way, I want to develop for personal and career goals a practical art process which includes new technologies and traditional processes in a way that is complementing bridging a gap between the old and the new. I am looking at the methods of printing inside of digital art and traditional printing processes. Comparing what effects can be created and how different processes create different effects within similar visuals. One of my research questions is to evoke a response that creates a human hand made process to modern contemporar...

Sketch Book There are numerous possibilities within print making in terms of techniques. Screen printing is one of many processes .Screens are photographed using specific CAD equipment onto photo sensitive paint. When it has been photographed and left to try. The ink that has not been blocked by the image, which is printed onto paper and layed down on top of the machine.In the same way a photocopier works, can they be washed away. Leaving the screen ready to print, the following image is the image which has been hand drawn and then scanned in onto illustrator were it is then repeated to create a fabric pattern. Screens for fabric is slightly different than for paper, a different screen mesh is needed. This pattern repeat is small in scale as I will be printing it onto Muslim to create a summer scarf.The image is a proto type of other images that can be used within the same scale and repeat with a structure colour scheme. Monotone been the type of colour way used . Lino Cherub print. Ph...

MA Proposal Refinement Plan My project is an exploration of the natural world, looking at how nature’s resources are depleting and how ecology is developing and where it should be going in order to create a better future. I will be integrating traditional and digital art to create new textiles and wall art. Ocean Shells. Antarctica melting ice cap Photographed by Christian Aslund-Green Peace  Sketch book ideas Oceans. A Proposal plan for an MA should have a number of elements , it should be easy to read and understand if it becomes too complex it might miss the main points of the brief. My proposal is more about what I want to be doing within the next 5 years it also suggests a customer base which my be difficult to meet. I have since changed my MA proposal to a short marketing plan to encourage consumers,customers and viewers to seek a deeper connection to ecology ,a visual  campaigning strategy for our futures and our children's futures. I have chosen a number of campaigns t...
