Product report..

 

When I look back at the process it all started of having an idea of what do I enjoy about art and what am I good at. I am someone who enjoys drawing but with the previous task we got I’ve done my family side of art, the cartoon drawings. Because of the time limit my plans to paint fell thru and didn’t have the needed materials. Long thoughts was put in this project and an idea strike me in the strangest place, a club. There’s something specific that brings calmness over me, something that makes me forget about everything. Yes I am talking about dance. Since I was a little girl I had a passion for dance. I did modern dancing for a few years and till last year I did hip hop. My cousin and I always made up our own dance that was being inspired by our favourite pop star and then had a little concert for the family. To connect my love for dance to a product I thought of carving a lino block, but to keep the dance concept I will carve a woman in the flow of dance. After I carved my image onto the lino and lost a few fingers in the process I felt like m product was good and give a powerful message thru about who I am and people who know me or read m post can see when they look at it; wow, that is Suzanne right there for you.

 

But I felt like I wasn’t quite done yet, there is something missing to bring the carved object alive. I had some left over material from a previous task and it hit me. I’m going to paste paint on the carved block and press it on the material of 2 A4 sides sewing it together to make a head travel pillow. I decided on red fabric paint because its vibrant and also the colour of love and stands for being proud, proud of whom I am and the love I have for dance. People can tell b the type of person I am just by looking how I dance and how big of a part it plays in m life. My product has a multipurpose usage, an art work and a pillow. It also has a warm design and has its own authentic and lively vibe to it.
