2/12/2014 - The first day of the 'Three Words' project consisted of gathering and refining primary research, this included Gallery & museum visits doing first hand rough observational sketches and photography of relevant pieces which would could be used as as starting point of initial textile sampling or rough design ideas. A mind map of the three chosen words (shown above) was also nessiscary at this initial stage.

3/12/2014 - the infective of the second day were the completion of a series of workshops, the first began with drawings using various mark making techniques, line, stippling, hatching/ cross- hatching, curved hatching,etc simply producing several A1 sized drawings from memory, not specifically of an object the drawings I had produced were all abstract transferring what the three words sujested to me individually a break down of each word using the senses to assist in the drawings, using a range if mediums such as pen, oil paint, pencils and markers. I quite enjoyed this workshop as it was out of my comfort zone which I thought challenged me in the sense of expanding and being free with my drawing rather than being literal and confined to one area of the page. Draping on the stand after with calico didn't interest me greatly and I had initially thought wouldn't be benigitial as it is something you'd do at the initial stages of design however the process of draping within a set time and producing a series of quick observational line drawings didin fact benigit me as it forced me to work at a quicker pace with designing something I intend on progressing eventually.
