Creative Process
I truly believe I learnt something valuable today.
We started the class today by taking notes with Katie. She explained what the creative process was. Yes, we had a piece of paper explaining what it was somewhere, surely, but I don’t think I ever paid attention to it. Today though, I picked up my iPad and started scribbling notes, hearing suggestions that Katie made about researching for our project of the day.
Today was a repetition of the last textiles day but working purely on a 2D environment. We we handed an envelope with a couple of keywords and three materials. Mine included the words ‘pleat’ and ‘enlarge’, as materials I was handed two brown envelopes, two punched out sheets of paper, and a red strip of paper (that matched with my phone, my iPad, my socks, my laces and my coffee cup, no kidding). Inspired by the fact that there was this shiny object made of my favourite colour inside my envelope I launched myself into the research stage.
I pinterested the word ‘pleat’ where I saw hundreds of skirts and trousers, watched a video on how to pleat fabric and sketched and annotated on my iPad along the way ideas that were popping in my head. It was almost lunch time, and by then I had collected quite a few ideas so rather than stay put and staring at my materials I decided to launch myself and do what I usually do: wing it.
This time it was different though. The research stage meant I had a very clear path towards what I wanted to achieve, but without a specific result. I enlarged the envelopes by opening them up and gluing them together, and pleated them in a ‘knife pleat’ the simplest and easiest pleat possible. I joined the three sheets of paper together with transparent tape, and placed the envelopes underneath it in various ways till I reached the actual state of being. And then I simply unrolled the strip of red paper and proceeded to improvise its location, only basing the irregular pleating from a found image on Pinterest.
I had so much time after lunch that I was able to do a variety of different drawings and keep experimenting on what the paper can do.
What a wonderful day.

-3- CHAMBER STREET MUSEUM - pt1
01/09/17
Our brief? Get lost. We had to get lost in the museum and draw whatever caught our eye. I began to appreciate the building and its quirks so much more as the day went on. This task really helped my quick sketching ability and my confidence to just get things down on the pages.
