Summer work overview: Tutorial

After the tutorial from the discussion and analysis of Summer projects, I discovered help with what I need to work on to become unstuck with my practice work.

I found this tutorial extremely helpful as everyone in my group had something different to say collectively about my sketchbook which would be extremely helpful in the near future.  

I was considerably struggling to find artists that influenced my work, however it was pointed out to me that the artists don't necessarily have to work in the exact same way but just have a similar concept. I had previously looked at Lucienne Day, Jennifer Collier and Fiona Wilson, I enjoyed their techniques and their target audiences were quite similar to what I'm aiming for.  

I was successful with black and white prints, further developing them into calico prints using my Epson printer. The artist that was suggested to was Carolyn Saxby and Teresa Horrocks as their prints have a similar effects to mine.

It also became known to me that my main strength is my use of media to create different strengths of drawings, and to take unusual parts of objects and create successful repeat patterns from this. 

I pointed out that throughout everyone of my prints all I wanted to do is embroider over the top with the sewing machine to distort the prints, it was suggested to me to use a metallic colour pallet (gold, silver, copper). I have already used Pinterest to gain inspiration for this but haven't found a specific artist, so I will research work from previous degree shows to look for the effects of this and gain more inspiration.
