Quiltmaking: Week 3: 24/03 - 28/03 (2)

From the techniques produced I have discovered that my colour scheme (Blue & Green) isn't reflective enough of the Fairground theme. Therefore I decided to include the memories of others to help, this included my Grandma, who as a child remembers Belle View - this was interesting to learn as her memories of the Fairground were vastly different to others. One of the main colours she remembered was Orange and Silver, the shapes she recalls were harsh and angular... stripes and flags. She remembers the large organ playing music, after descovering this I asked her to use a limit of five colours and respond to the music using shapes and line.



I asked two other generations on their Fairground memories and the colours were mainly Red, Orange, Yellow, Blue and Silver - From this I will buy materials of these colours that will connote the textures within the images and sketchbook and use coloured and metailic threads to stitch, using the influence of some artists to improve samples.


I discovered Teresa Murdza, her style of drawing is influential because her use of block colour with a loose off-set linear black line will clearly link to my use of rollercoaster drawings, this will also help me to introduce colour and shapes more easily and effectively.
