Floral Geometry Unit Week 4 Peer Review

1)  Are there clear connections between visual research (drawing and sketchbook work) and ideas development? 

• Very clear  connections between primary drawings and research
• Lots of mixed media experimentation
• Good flow of summer work into development

2)  Within design development is there evidence of material sampling? How is this documented?

• Lots of material samples including paper samples.
• Try other backgrounds for prints (select objects out of photos) e.g. sublimations of drawings and not use the whole photo; collage image before placing it onto material.
• Love puff binder; stitch into it
• Experiment with composition

3)  Has a colour palette been established? if so how well has this been translated in the work produced so far?

• No colour palette but a lot of experimentation with colour
• Find out what dominant colours are working best (pink and yellow) then refine down
• Puff binder has worked with light colours; switch it up and experiment with a completely different 'light' colour scene

4)  Is there evidence of risk taking and experimentation in response to the brief? If so how?

• Lots of experimentation, varied media and embroidery.
• Collage photos that are stitched work better than a flat image (also very geometric)

5)  Is there clear evidence of contextual research? can you identify the students intended audience and location for work?

• Can see the link between styles.
• Collect images of examples of where you would like to see your work (context-cushions/installations)

6)  What positive recommendations can you offer to improve the work so far? 

• Scan in geometric collages to use for samples (repeat print?)
• Use simpler techniques for/over backgrounds - include a lot more illustrations within prints
• Embroider into puff binder
• Stitch into the origami-maybe place origami onto samples
• Use starch to hold and stiffen up material samples... to then use for origami pieces (paper like feel)
