Week 4 - Tue 4/10/11 Rule Based Art Large Scale

Following on from last weeks lesson, we used our rule based art shapes and enlarged them to paper A0 size. 

This is just one of my shapes on the mannequin.

I then cut out another one of my shapes and joined it to my first shape on the mannequin.

Then my friend and I joined our two shapes together on the table, folding and interlocking it together, and then placed it over the mannequin.

Then we took our two shapes off the mannequin and squashed it all up. Funnily enough, this became my favourite, and in my opinion, our best piece. We created a hooded bodice which looks especially great from the back.

This was a good session experimenting with different forms avoiding the natural figure, similarly to Japanese fashion where they create a cacoon around the body.

After today's lesson I went and researched Martin Margiela and felt that his work was similar to some of the shapes I created today.
