1.2.1 Initial Drawings

Another task we have been given during the feedback week was to prepare for the next unit; Sampling. This preparation consisted of using the words Mapping and Measuring to inspire original responses to a gallery/museum journeys and visits. I began this task by making notes on what to map and measure during my visit.

My drawn responses to mapping and measuring


To begin this investigation I went to the Manchester Museum, I chose this museum as not only does it have incessant fantastic displays but also delivers many visual communication examples some of which are mapping and measuring. When collecting my research I endeavoured to be original; the image on the far right depicts the proportions of colour in insects. But I have become very fascinated by ways in which you can record a journey; when walking to the museum I mapped the journey by observing the surfaces I walked upon centre image, I also monitored time spent in certain sections of the museum left image. This recording of almost odyssey is inspiring and something I would like to continue in this project and my textile world.

1.2.0 Group Analysis

One of the tasks during feedback week was to analyze our individual experiences of the origins unit, in a group with girls from each of the other textile worlds. I founds this a great opportunity to observe workloads, styles, and presentation of other textile worlds. It was an especially good insight to my next world Print; Looking through the portfolio of one of the highest achievers gave me a detailed and thorough indication of what was to be expected.


Evaluating what I've seen it has become clear to me that changes need to be made to my work ethic. After discussing with the other girls I have concluded that I need to focus more on drawing, by managing my time more efficiently. I did receive positive response about my development, highlighting that it was methodical and clear, a practice I will continue in print
