Tell an Untold Story - Field Trip

FIELD TRIP:

I went to Conghua Shimen National Forest Park and Langshan mountain in China. I had a great time in these places and took many photos. I used watercolour to drew down some trees that I found very interesting.

Photo and drawing of a maple tree.

I remember a women walked her dog around this lake, everything was so relaxing

I like the texture of tree bark

Wonderful feeling when walking on the bridge

                   

A cricket( I guess)

Bought a flower ring from a small shop

Tell an untold Story- Tree

New brief:
Produce and display a body of organised research, information and source material about a given subject.


Topic:
TREE


Why?:
I chose this topic because I feel like I have a strange relationship with tree.

-When I was a kid I always wanted to be a tree. They are so quiet and don't have anything to worry about.
-I feel like trees are some wise elder who can listen to us no matter what we say to him,  and guide us how to coming out of this sadness and anger.
-I think there is a tree in my brain. It grows with my age, its leaves are my memories, each leaf fell off means a loss of memory.

So I want to focus on Human Relationships with Trees.

Study of Tree:

Thoughts:

In this module, I will try draw things with less detail, make sure I don't overcomplicate things. I would like to explore mixed media, some material I haven't tried before. I think it will be interesting to get out of my comfort zone and see what I can create.

Collage

Surprisingly I quite enjoy this brief. I thought it would be uneasy to do because I am new to collage, then, in the end, I only need to cut out many different things that I found interesting or relatable to my theme and then just kind of play with these pieces. The whole process was very relaxing and fun. I think this is a good start I try with collage.

Many elements from Alexander McQueen, I love his work, that feeling of death

One Week Map- Screen Print

We decided to draw down a footprint, leaves, some ripple to represent our trip ( Raining, cold, walking, leaves falling). Because it is for the screen print, so we didn't make it very complicate, just some basic lines and shapes. I think it is very smart to do the footprint, it is my favourite element in this print.

We basically just used blue and pink these two colour, and we also tried mixed them to a beautiful purple colour. This is not the first time I do screen print, I have used this technique many time before in my textile study. But it still have some differences in screen print between textile and illustration. it is why I felt like this is something I have never try before and makes me excited about. I have learned so many from the introduction of screen print, I have also known something I missed or I did it incorrectly before with screen print. It has so much fun to play with and I wish I could try do some screen printing in my other work.
