Week 17

In today's lesson I am going to look at creating the marks that Kulkov did by sewing into fabric. I will also add his technique to the drawing of the hackle that I did in the other lesson and have this running along side the sewing too.
-I did like the effect that the sewing gave but it was very time consuming so I think I will use this technique to add extra smaller details to other compositions that I produce in the future.
-I experimented using a sewing machine as this is a quicker method. I used varying stiches to create different marks.

In this lesson I aim to finish the collaged piece I started a few weeks ago which I became bored with. I am collaging my dad's photographs, my photographs from my trip to London and green and red layered monoprints to form a pocket from a pair of camouflage trousers. I am then going to photocopy this and work in the of Vlad Kulkov over the top of this.
- The idea of collaging my work and photographs but it is a tedious process which I need to find a way to simplify it. Perhaps I could enlarge the size of each camouflage section so that there are fewer intricate shapes. Also, I added detail to the pocket using biro to represent stitching and folds. Furthermore I could actually stitch these marks into the piece to make it look more realistic. I photocopied the product in both colour and black and white, I have began to work over the black and white copy in the style of Kulkov and I believe it is beginning to provide accents of colour.
