Week 4: Pattern

These are some explorations I did for some ideas I want to do.

Fig. 1.1: Exploration 1

I use a palette knife of this. I smudged it using the flat part for the dots and the sides for the line.

Fig. 1.2: Exploration 2

I used my fingers for this and a leaf.

All of the pictures above are leaves exploration.

Fig. 2.2: Finalize Design 2

I have two final designs, the first one is a pattern of leaves. The leaves a stamp in a grind, the pink coloured leaves are done by painting over the leaves. So, it looks flaming leaves.

The second pattern are a pattern of flowers. I used a carrot and shaped it then stamp on the paper but some didn't look well, so I use a palette knife to repaint it by stamping on the white spaces. The palette knife is round and works as a flower petal. The light green is a cabbage and the dark green is my fingerprint. Then, I paint it on.

FEEDBACK

Week 5 (2/5/2019): Ms Sherry said she likes the second pattern and would prefer it as a wallpaper. The first pattern isn't bad but the empty spaces of the leaves make it looks like it's incomplete.
