Project work

What did I want to explore?
- After reflection on the feedback, I wanted to see just how far I could alter the colours of these items whilst still retaining their essence- is colour really that important?
- Feedback seemed to suggest this was an interesting direction to take, as it really shows the importance of form within an image
- Want to create a body of work which will evoke different feelings in people- will a blue banana make people feel uncomfortable? Remind them of a shop? Mean anything? This is what I want to find out!
- How far can an orange be taken from its original state? Could it be an abstract pink and yellow shape? What is the importance of contextual information?

What did I like/dislike?
- Although I quite like the abstract cut paper images, they don't really excite me, and if I want to create a repeat pattern, I think I will need to use a more accurate representation in order to not get overcrowded and busy
- I really don't like the straight edges- fruit is fluid and soft, if I'm representing these traits then I need to embody the essence of them
- Think they're a bit too messy, would have preferred finer lines
- Quite like the initial drawings, and how the black grounds the colour and gives it a place on the page- think this is all starting to become about balancing and giving just enough information

How has this impacted my practice?
- I feel like I'm going against the basis of my essay, which looks at the importance of colour, however, I think here I am exploring more the natural, day to day use of colour, rather than the commercial side I looked at in my essay
- Want to begin to make them into Illustrator files so that I can use them within screen print- repeat pattern
- Could I create different prints which reveal different colours/amounts of information?
