Reflection of the Origins Unit: Group Discussion

Within the group discussion on Friday 6th December when reflecting on my work, I discovered that even though I didn't enjoy Mixed Media, that there was a lot that I learnt and could use within other Textile Worlds in the future. This would include the various workshops, e.g. Laser Cutting, Risograph Printing, Bookbinding etc. After the group discussion I found that other textile worlds didn't really take part in many workshops, other than the ones specific to their world. Therefore I feel that I can use this to my advantage to make my work appear more individual. I have also started to produce line drawings within my work for the "Mapping" task - these were inspired from the initial "100 drawings" during the start of Mixed Media.
I have also discovered work from the textile world which I will be going into next, which is Embroidery. I loved the samples what other students produced and I think I will be more suited to embroidery, as the drawings that they produced to inspire their work was mainly mark making, and they also started with a monochrome pallet - this was interesting as I prefer to stick to one colour, just using the tonal ranges within my work.
