Liverpool trip

We visited the Tate and Walker Galleries in Liverpool to collect primary research , overall I didn’t connect with any of the pieces of art in the two galleries due to the work not having any correlation to my theme , although the trip helped me with the composition of my final piece.

Rhoda Forbes

‘Coffee Time’ by Rhoda Forbes, 2010, 16.000 x 20.000 inches , Mixed Media – Textiles

I was inspired by Rhoda Forbes work in my textiles work , I really like the was she connected different fabrics together to create one whole piece , I interpreted this into patchwork and connected 5 different fabrics, I thought this would add more skills to my final piece as I had never created a ‘quilt’ from patchwork , I did not use a similar colour scheme as Forbes due to how dark it was but I liked her a joining fabrics

Milk Bottle Final Pattern

This is the final pattern for my large milk bottle, I think the colours are very vibrant and are of a similar colour pallet of Robert Frank Harvey the artist that I looked at for inspiration, I really think the colours compliment each other very well. I decided to use this in my final piece because I thought the colours would contrast the 4dark colours of my final milk bottle outline.

Creating Patterns in Illustrator

This is the first pattern I created , I used my original milk bottle to create this , I decided to keep the colour the same on the pattern and I set it to a Hex by column so the milk bottles would overlap , this is the type of pattern I will be using for my final piece but with colours similar to Robert Frank Hunters work.

This milk bottle shows how the pattern looks all over the milk bottle , even though I like how this looks I would prefer the bottle to have a different coloured cap but I was just testing how it would look in the milk bottle shape.

The image below shows a different colour pallet for the milk bottle , I made the milk bottle a more muted colour so that it wasn’t as vibrant and so that it doesn’t stand out as much , I all mad a pattern for this colour scheme and put them side by side to compare, over all I prefer the grey pattern and milk bottle because it looks more sleek.

Milk Bottle in Illustrator

The image below is the image I used as a template to create my milk bottle outline in illustrator. IMG_4025

The image below is the milk bottle I created to do this is used the pen tool and stroke/fill , I kept the milk bottle plain and added red to the cap to make it stand out , I believe the milk bottle is very close to the original without the extra detail , this is the outline I will be using for my final piece.milk-bottle
