'Colour & Harmony': Other Workshops - Fashion Design

Alongside painting, the other two workshops I was assigned to were textile (fashion design) and animation. However, because the animation workshop was made to almost exclusively cover digital animation and was something the entire class (me no exception) needed to be initiated in, this was never applied to the project brief directly. Fashion design, however, was more straightforward in putting it to the brief. In fact, it was perhaps approached no differently to how one approached it when painting.

However, very little of what I produced from the workshop remains, little was really made, let alone stood out and anything else was disposed of when I had to clear through some of my artwork in preparations for university. Nevertheless, the only surviving piece(s) from textiles were probably the only contributions worth noting and are also the only reason for this particular post.

I only listened to two segments from the entire piece while creating a series of collective images. The first six images, Batch 'A', were made to be purely abstract, not representing anything in particular. With the next series of images from Batch 'B', I chose to be make them more illustrative but still relatively ambiguous.

Although this was certainly an entertaining and fulfilling moment in its own right, I don't see this going any further. Stylistically, it wasn't that different to the previous drawing/painting to music, at that point it was already clear that I could do a lot more using paint. However, that didn't stop me applying drawing materials (graphite, charcoal, etc.) to certain works for mixed media pieces.
