WEARABLE ART

GCSE TEXTILES ~WEARABLE ART This is an actual exam question from 2018 Textile Design GCSE paper. It gives you suggestions of artists and designers that you can study which could influence your work. You don’t have to use them, you can find ones of your own – the important thing is that you admire their work and find it interesting. You could also use a particular culture, style, era, material or technique on which to base your Wearable Art project. You must clearly illustrate their influence on your own work using words, images and experiments and show what has really triggered your own interest, imagination and influences. WEARABLE ART will be your final major project – make it inspirational and amazing!

WEARABLE ART Artists and fashion designers have worked together to create iconic fashion garments. Salvador Dali worked with Elsa Schiaparelli and Damien Hirst collaborated with Alexander Mc. Queen. Andy Warhol’s work inspired Gianni Versace. The Mondrian collection of Yves Saint Laurent referenced the work of several modern artists. Basso and Brooke created a variety of very colourful hats made with Formica laminate inspired by the designer Ettore Scottsass. The Portland Oregon Trashion Collective, Junk to Funk recycle waste materials to make wearable art.

PROJECT TIPS FOR AN AMAZING SKETCH BOOK • REALLY IMPORTANT THINGS TO REMEMBER WHEN WE’RE NOT COMING INTO SCHOOL – PLEASE SEND ME PHOTOGRAPHS OF YOUR WORK AS IT PROGRESSES • Make sure you include as many of your own photos as you can. Illustrating the development of your research & experiments. • Whenever you include your own photos do sketches of them in a range of mediums; watercolours, pencils etc. • Always use your own photos where possible to respond to artists work. • Remember to send me all your lovely art/textiles work in your book - studies that are good sizes, filling the pages. • When looking at artists/designers/cultures/genres make sure you reflect their style with presentation choices you make; colours, titles, backgrounds etc.

The Beginning There are 3 tasks that you need to do to start your project off – Title page, mind map and moodboard. Remember your start has to have a big impact on all the exciting things to follow. Plan your time and pages carefully. ONE task a week. Also start collecting rubbish! Get in the recycling bin, clear out the cupboards, be creative and resourceful.

Starting point Task 1 (AO 1/2/3) • Begin with a title page for ‘Wearable Art'. Make it lively & exciting, it should represent what is to come in your sketchbook. You should have a bold, well written title with accompanying images that you have illustrated/ found. • Think carefully about how you want the first page to look and feel.

Task 2 Mind mapping (AO 1) The next page after your title page should be a mind-map exploring lots of ideas inspired by the title ‘Wearable Art. '

Task 3 Mood Board. (AO 1/2) Present a moodboard bursting with images of Wearable Art You can use materials like; magazines, posters, leaflets, books and newspapers to find imagery as well as the internet. Fill the entire page with imagery.
