Paper manipulation. 


The work I did today was continuing from last weeks session, Since I didn't like my first shapes I started again and developed it even further. 

I transferred it to a cartridge paper, I only scaled the shape by 20% because I wanted to try out if it will out before doing the final thing on A0 paper. 

So I was happy with the draft that I made and I scaled this shape to 100% in the A0 paper and put it on the tailor dummy. 

From the shapes that I have done, I moved onto making other shapes with same rule but putting them on different places. 

From the flat shapes I draw on the paper, I have manipulated them by putting the end together to create curls and cutting the paper in the middle to create space for the neck. 

I have decided to attach the first paper manipulation I made into this new one. So that together it would create a whole piece.

I made another shapes with same rules however this time I added like long rectangles so that I can curl them and put them into holes that I have cut out. 

I paired with another student in the class, we combines our pieces together to make one garment. The shapes and structure we got are really interesting. 

We took each turn to put the pieces together and we came up with different ideas and style. 

To develop and improve this further, We scrunched the paper to create more texture and other different styles.

IDEA ONE - Having the paper scrunched up added depth and volume to the piece. 

IDEA TWO - It became more flexible, The paper can now be manipulated easily.

IDEA THREE - We created the whole garment by also incorporating the back. 


Overall, I found that I actually enjoy working in a larger scale and it sparked many creative ideas.
