Week One.

Week One: Fashion and Textiles

This week was my first week as a fashion and textile student doing a Btec and I really enjoyed it. To start with we learnt all the health and safety requirements and induction for the new course. I enjoyed meeting my new teacher and classmates even though I was a bit nervous to start with, everyone was really welcoming. 

During the week I have worked on mark making using many different media’s including acrylic paint, graphite, oil pastel and ink. A new media I used was bleach it was really interesting to see how it interacted with the ink.

I also for the first time drew with oil pastels and I really enjoyed it and how buttery it was, luckily I had a few tips from YouTube to help me navigate it- will definitely be using these again in my work.

In first photography lesson ever, I learnt about different lights and their purposes, we also went in the dark room in preparation for up-and-coming projects. 

At the weekend I visited the malting for the Unravel Festival, and I purchased another felting kit ready for Halloween which I am looking forward to making! Next week in pattern cutting we are looking at seams and when to use which types which will be useful.
