INSPIRATION FROM THE CANVAS PART TWO: FROM CANVAS TO DESIGN

INSPIRATION FROM THE CANVAS PART TWO: FROM CANVAS TO DESIGN
Nov 1, 2017

 I was really intrigued by the dark streaks and contrast of red and yellow hues.  Also, I wanted to keep long fluid movements within each design.  Inspired by Halloween I decided on darker hue and Gothic Theme textile design.

1 Creative Exercise: “Fill the Canvas”… 2 Different Approaches

FINDING INSPIRATION IN UNEXPECTED PLACES...Take time to slow down, experience each moment and keep your eyes open, because inspiration is all around us. 10 people can look at the exact same thing and all perceive their experience differently.  Be open to all potential sources for inspiration. 

Trust your creative intuition and have fun discovering the journey!

Attitudes: EXPLORING ATTITUDES OF REJUVENATION AND CONNECTION:

IN THE STUDIO I AM EXPLORING ATTITUDES OF CONNECTION, COMFORT, AND REJUVENATION,  ALL IN REFLECTION OF  HOW IT RELATES TO TEXTILE DESIGN.

SUMMER IS UPON US! Time for summer vacations, backyard parties, and spending time with family and friends. Summer is all about rejuvenation and grounding in comforting experiences and deeper connections. Connections with people, places, and objects within our daily environment. This can have several implications for art and design. Textile designs can directly effect the mood of an environment or product with color, tactile input, and by evoking emotional responses through representation of familiar objects or locations.
