Research Week 2
I decided to visit the Tate Modern so that my research was reliable meaning that I have collected information from many different sources. Within the museum, I visited many exhibitions including Harry Callahan's. There were four rooms dedicated to Callahan's post-war photography.
The most successful aspect of this research was when I concentrated on the negative space of a conceptual sculpture. This influenced me to repeat the shapes I made and also layer them. I feel that now I need to use these shapes and incorporate them into potential garments.
However, I really feel that although this added to my research, my sketch book does seem some what repetitive. Thus, I feel stuck in a rut and feel that I am not moving forward in terms of getting closer to my realisation.
It is clear that this stems from my personality trait of possessing a theorist style of learning. A theorist needs to attain all the information he/she needs in the initial stage before being able to move on to the next stage. Nevertheless, I also feel that I am doing a good job of collecting high quality research and feel that I am nearly finished. I feel I have a good base to refer from and become influenced by.
I have unexpectedly been inspired by the linear shapes in one of Harry Callahan's photographs. I feel that I should photocopy that particular drawing of the photograph using the negative application on the photocopier.
Next, I am going to think about potential experiments and developments. I feel that I should begin designing much more and a major goal would be to start to introduce colour into my designs. However, I do find this really hard to do let alone succeed at.
