Our group project collaboration 

The five members of the group each drew a picture, and then put them together. The wig in question was bought at the market.

Mural & flower

A flower below the Hackney Peace Carnival Mural.

Other parts of London–Chinatown

I like Chinese lanterns and traditional costumes. Chinatown has many red and yellow elements.

Drawing class

We tried to draw with our eyes closed and ended up using various media.

Visit the Horinmaon Museum

Overall, I think it’s quite interesting！I extracted patterns based on the architecture and this flower.

Talking color

For “talking color”, I mainly extract color directly by observing natural things or some buildings and cultural relics, and imitate its texture through the combination of various materials. For example, in my sketchbook, I use the Chinese embroidery I saw in the museum as Inspiration, extract the pattern and color of the embroidery, and then draw it on a very thin colored paper. Or try to use transparent paper, and superimpose this transparent paper with other works after painting, so as to find different color effects. And just like the wigs seen in the market, I can directly make some collages with the material of wigs as my inspiration. Later, I found that many plants use contrasting colors, such as green to orange or purple, pink to blue, and I learned about this color matching. At the same time, in the painting class, we learned a new way to paint colors, that is, close your eyes, feel the material and shape with your hands, and then draw as you like. For me, this is a new way of painting, and it is very useful, because I find that such painting will produce very Unexpected matching, and then the second creation can be carried out through color extraction, which will make the work more in-depth and to the point.

Talking pattern

For the theme of “talking pattern”, I think the most important thing about pattern is the extraction and generalization of the shape. For example, I tried to extract the structure of the building to produce a way of arrangement and combination, so as to use it as my pattern. For pat For tern, symmetry or the repetition of a single thing is very important, just like the columns of the building and the patterns on the plants, so I also try to explore the “pattern” mainly with the shape of flowers and patterns as the core points of inspirational creation in sketchbook’s works. In the class on “pattern”, I learned that we can use the copier to quickly try to do more patterns under different arrangements and combinations, so I used printing technology to repeat some arrangements and combinations in my portfolio, or then do some overlays through paper cutting. . And I tried to take the damper in the building as inspiration, because the damper itself is a kind of thing that keeps shaking, so I extracted this shaking pattern and used it on plants. I will also create paintings about pattern for the second time, and add some textures or colors about plants, which will produce a very good effect.
