Meeting Minutes 6th Feb - Josie

    Apologies this took a couple of days I was in Exeter alll day yesterday! Just a note, I was at the Royal Albert memorial Museum in Exeter and they have some amazing paintings and natural history exhibitions going on. There is also a section of stuffed animals including about 6 different species of EXTINCT BIRDS! So if you fancy doing some drawing from life it is quite an inspiring place!




Notes from Monday 6th February:


Meg


Still working on drawings, no focus as yet. Jo LB suggested drawing birds from other angles thinking about their characters.
Research-researching decorative jewellery.
Target-Start drawing 3 different birds from different angles and in different positions. Post to blog-done!


JO LB


Written words completed, we all listened to them read out loud and concluded the second version is easier to read and has better rhythm. Starting to develop the characters and plan the design of the book.
Target-Background visuals by friday, research and look at reeds, Meg suggested Beatrix Potters pond drawings.


Jordan


Lots of drawing (yay) Currently choosing 3 birds to develop into poster designs and focusing more on development. Meg suggested researching Frans Masereel. 
Target-Clear concept of a theme and more research of bird superstitions.


EVERYONE-Jord had the good idea to research the habitat, eating habits etc. more about the birds so you have a clearer idea of their character. 


Andjela


Has changed brief to move more into merchandise. Lots of experimentation, going into woodcut and lino cut.
Target-More experiments, narrow down focus to one type of merchandise ie. tshirts, badges etc. Post to blog!!


Josie


Experimenting lots with scribbler drawings etc. Meg suggested using textures in work. Had brainwave in meeting about using sewing to replicate the scribbler drawings so it is more tactile.
Target-Experiment with sewing and thermographic ink. 
Research-Rework research question to make it more relevant to project. Possibly looking at tactile work using 3d media in print and whether this makes work more appealing. 


Meeting at... i think we said around 3.30 friday! will check and put on facebook!
