Fashion- Shapes/ Clothing

 For this task I was asked to bring in a piece of work from my favourite artist, I chose a piece by Andrew Ellis (King Spiff) who is a illustrator and painter.

Next I was asked to isolate a small section of the image and make it a more interesting/3 dimensional piece using just paper, I decided to stick the shapes I made onto the original image as I wanted to make use of negative space. I used folded, ripped and layered paper to make the outline of the image.

Personally I thought there could have been major improvements to my work, starting with the amount of detail I put in and the variation of materials I used. For example I could have used different colour paper to emphasise on the amount/depth of the layers and also to highlight raised areas of the image. Overall I did not enjoy the task, nor particularly like my outcome as I did not really find this task exciting and is maybe why my outcome suffered. 


Later on in the day I was asked to chose a shape from my image, and make it again with varying size scales. Next I was put into a group whereby we had to combine the shapes we had made in order to create a piece of work based on a theme.

Personally I did not think our outcome was create in terms of aesthetics, as due to the shapes and objects we had, we were quite restricted with what we could create.

However we were able to rotate groups and use other people's shapes to dress the mannequins, This was one of my personal favourites as I think it most resembles a clothing item. I also like how the use of the scrunched up paper creates texture and depth within the surface area of the paper garment.
