3D The web of ideas 24th September

The Web of Ideas 24th September

Today it was time to sort out my ideas and get my concept ready for testing tomorrow.

I looked for designers, ideas and possible materials to use. Research is important and helpful for developing ideas.

I did some further research on Jane Adam and Wendy Ramshaw. I looked at what materials they used, and what they wanted to achieve with their jewellery. I wrote some information on both of them and found some images for my sketch book.

I made notes on different metals and what I could use to create my own jewellery. I thought copper or aluminium? While making this decision, the tutor came and talked through my ideas. I found out they don't have the facilities to colour the aluminium, but was asked if I'd considered using acrylic. I went back and searched for some designers who used acrylic in their jewellery. I found a range of interesting designs using bright colours. One designer in particular caught my attention; it was the work of Tasheeta David. Her use of bright colours and unexpected shapes interested me. Having this new material brought to my attention and stimulate my interest, I searched for more information about making jewellery using acrylic.

I had to temporarily halt my research to go to my English class, but I now had some fascinating ideas to follow up on.
