Kurta pattern

I recreated the patterns found on the kurta using pencil and oil pastel.

The oil pastel wasn't the best option for creating such small details however from the distance the vibrant strokes look good.

With the photo print of the kurta, I practiced my weaving technique. I want to use the weaving method on my final piece so I need to repeated practice what type of patterns would suit the technique. It does not work well with this photo, the colours are too dark, the paper looks too full and it feels quite overbearing. The heavy colour won't match the light colour style of Minjae Lee's.

I tried it again with a photocopy of my piece, compared to the other one it looks much more lighter making it easier to link with Minjae Lee's style. However, the pattern is not very detailed up close, I need to add more details to the patterns.

Fonts for Art Board

A collection of font I could potential use for my art board. I want the font to reflect an informative approach but not too stiff, a relaxed pace but not too lazy.

Germania - quite thick and it seems too dramatic.

Lobster - I like this font but will it suit my theme?

Ariel - too simple, it'll be hard for it to stand out.

Bauhaus 93 - just like Germania, it feels too dramatic.

Baskerville - feels too formal and stiff.

Museum trip

I went to visit the local gallery with my friends. They were having exhibitions on World War artifacts, coastal sketches and portraits.

The statue at the centre of the Riversley park is a tribute to the fallen soldiers of the 2 world wars.

Photograph were not allowed inside the gallery, so I could only take a few secretly. The two above pictures are from an activity on the ground floor. There was a fossil under the paper and with the colour pastel, you had to rub it over the fossil to get an engraving of the fossil onto the black paper.

There were a few Gurkha objects displayed on the ground floor. This is the hat worn by Gurkha's during special military ceremonies, they aren't worn in combat nowadays.

Similar to the previous activity however this time, it is a figure of a nun from the medieval era.

There was a small selection of African art, this is a photo of an activity related to the section. The art pieces had to be placed in its correct order.
