Fashion and Textile
- To understand how to extract shapes from drawings
- To produce and translate shapes from 2D into 3D
- To be able to further develop ideas on the stand.

| Image 3 (Six section sketches) |
From the drawings that I have made and divide into 6 section (shown from image 3), I am to produce 6 different samples using the drawings as an inspiration to create these samples. There are rules applied: must use white paper only. From this white paper, we are to use different kind of techniques such as ripping, slashing, rolling, folding and scratching to create our samples.

| Image 4 (Samples) |
Image 4 shows the 3 samples that I have created. I was not able to produce 6 samples as I have run out of time producing these samples. I have actually made 4 samples and the 4th one was of a stairs. I did not personally liked the sample of the stairs that I have produced because I wasn't confident enough to know how to make one and the outcome did not pass my liking therefore, I purposely did not take a picture of it. Do not get me wrong. I was planning to take a picture of it eventually after I develop it however, time has run out and I wasn't able to get back to it nor take a picture of my 4th sample.
From the 3/4 samples that I have create, I am to select 1 sample and make 6 of them in either the same size, if it's A4 or make it bigger but the size should be no bigger than A4. In my case, I have chosen the tree sample as it is my preferred sample out of the rest and also it's a sample that is actual inspired by the drawings I have created from image 3.
Out of all the samples everyone in my class has created, we are now to develop those ideas by displaying them on a stand.

| Image 5 (Sketches and Images of working on stand) |
Above, are the images and sketches of the stand we have dressed up using the samples we have created. The sketches are a continuous drawing making the drawing larger and messier. Personally, I think the idea of continuous drawing was magnificent. The reason being is instead of focusing on what we are drawing, we are focusing mainly on what's in front of us and in this case, the stand displaying the ideas we have created. In addition, the outcome of the sketches making it messier relates to how we first started putting our ideas together. From the start, no one had clearly had everything planned out by having there ideas out there in front of them. All of us thought of an idea then later on had to change and develop these ideas and the process and methods of our working are a mess and that's what the continuous drawing reminded me of. It reminded me of us working and growing.
As you can see from image 5, I have started to develop these drawings by actually drawing from an image instead of observational drawing. This is to prove if my feelings are true or if my drawings are clearly just that messy.

| Image 6 (Mood Board) |
Image 6 is my mood board where I have gathered my ideas into one page. This mood board will help me focus on my initial ideas and I can also add in ideas that later might come in handy. This mood board contains architecture of my chosen architect and a model from which have won Miss Universe 2015 and extra ideas relating with the model such as her country's national dress, Philippines nyana.
Day 2 learning objective:
- Understand how to develop ideas on the stand
- Produce and make a wearable piece of art using paper
Using the samples, photographs and initial ideas, we are to produce a final wearable piece of art using only brown and or white paper. The main objective for this day is to be able to produce a wearable piece of art but also to be able to remove the piece from the stand as it is to be worn by a model.

| Image 7 (Finished piece) |
Image 7 shows final piece of my wearable piece of art influenced by Miss Universe 2015, Pia Wurtzbach country's national dress and architecture lines.
According from my peers, the wearable piece of art that I produced reminded her of the word 'rock', not 'rock' as in stones, but 'rock' as in heavy metal and music. When I was told that it looked like 'rock' I didn't quite agree with her as I don't see any influence of my work being called 'rock'. When I look at my work, I see a bikini with sleeves and it also reminded me of tropical. However, after looking up what rock fashion look like, I now understand why my work was referred to as 'rock' because of the long decoration on sleeves that I added in which I thought I will use for the influence of the architecture side.
In contrast, fellow Filipinos from my class saw my process of making my wearable art and told me that it looked like a Philippine Nyana which made me feel relived and pleased that what i'm trying to show to them is what they have just told me and that is, Philippine Nyana. I understand why the person who gave me the word 'rock' for my wearable art and I don't expect them to tell me that it looks like Philippine Nyana because they won't know what it is, only fellow Filipinos will know therefore, I gladly accept the word 'rock'.
Next time, if I will be given another chance to produce another wearable piece of art, I will make sure that it's not something only people with the same nationality as I am will know what I am trying to produce but a world wide theme such as Halloween and floral.

| Image 10 (Design Board) |
Image 10 is my design board showing collages of my dad with background location and with the wearable piece of art that I made. I have decided after all to use the inspiration of my dad as my model and to do this, I am going to use collage his photo with the wearable art and with my chosen location. This will then give me an overall outcome for a photo shoot.
If I was born in the century my Dad dressing up as 'rock' and I have been given this task to create a wearable piece of art that will be put on a model, I would have him to model the art work that I have created.

| Image 11 (Photo Shoot) |
Image 11 is the overall finished structure of my narrative. My layout (as shown on image 11) is influenced by Woolfgang Tillman. A man known for his photographs of everyday life and contemporary culture and for his pioneering method of displaying prints as whole-room installations.
The format and the ways in which his work is distributed or made visible in the public space allows him to present work and engage audiences in a completely different manner.
While planning for our photo shoot, we have decided to divide into groups of 3 with the role of stylist, model and photographer.
- Stylist- Nikita
- Model- Diana
- Photographer- Meda
The wearable piece of art that Nikita and Meda had produced are quite small therefore they needed someone small to model for them and only me can do it therefore, I modeled for 2 person's photo shoot and worn 2 different wearable piece of art. For Nikita, her location is quite straight forward however, getting there is the problem. Her idea was (just to let you know, our College is right next to a river) to be able to get as close to the river and have the model which is me, standing beside the water. However, the water on the river has risen unbelievably high therefore, there is no option but to stay up shore. From there, I modeled for her while wearing the work she had produced.
Furthermore, Meda's location for her photo shoot is quite easy therefore, we have decided to do her photo shoot last as her location is at our College. For me, I found her instruction for modeling for her work much easier than Nikita's instructions because Meda only had me leaning on a wall and walking up and down a couple of times to get the photography technique that she wanted.
For my photo shoot, I only needed the location therefore no one had to model for my work. I am quite disappointed as no one gets to wear them and model for me and see what it looks like on an actual model and not just on a 2D model. However, it made it a lot easier for us three to finish up our work and give us time to edit and layout our images in a style of Woolfgang Tillman.
