final outcome

i am very happy with my final product i think the design really reflects my project well the only thing i would change is i would have used some of the design on the back on the front some where as well if i was to do it again.

final designs

i have tried to reflect all my findings with in my final design the strips work all the way through the squares on the back show the design on the armys tops and the shape and colouring are traditional to china.

bruno basso & brooke

Designer and artist together working with each other to produce garments that represent different cultures this works well with my work i want to produes paterns and colours that sum up china in a garmtent after looking at there work i looked a traditional chinese style of dress this is when my design process started to come together i also looked at louis vuitton and his look at china. i wanted to produce a garment that was a more modern and sexier version of their fashion whilest still incorprating the traditional china style.

china vs england techniques

i looked at traditional chinese and english techniques and combined them with my work.
for china i looked at silk painting and embroidary
for england i looked at embroidary knitting and weaving
i tryed i link these techniques into my work on the history of china using lines and squares the squares link in with the patten on the soldiers from the terracotta army i think this works really well.

morris louis

morris louise is an artist i looked at who concentrates on the use of line in his work which worked and linked into my work very well i did my own version's of his work in my sketch book incorprating colours that linked in well to my project.

tiananmen square protests

i contiuned looking at line and china history which linked me in to the tiananmen square protests through the lines of people protesting. i also looked into the line of divition between the chinese army and the protesters there was a clear line of divition in the photos i have looked at.

oriental museum

i went to vistit the oriental museum were i was able to gather more information on china and the history of china i got a number of images from there on the terracotta army and on the fashions of china which i will be looking at later in my project.





i also found a statue of someone from the terracotta army in t-k-max this gave my another first hand image to work fromin my work.
