WEARABLE ART CHECKLIST

 

LAURA - Typography

 TYPOGRAPHY CHECKLIST

COLLAGE

• David Carson research (plus other artists who might link?) plus annotation

• 3 typography collages, using limited colour palettes/type

• Annotate your collages - 

• what are the themes? 

• How did you limit your choices in this collage? 

• What works well/needs improving?

These don't have to 'say' anything - it's much more about exploring typography as a visual concept - using the shapes etc.

Visual rather than legible!

 

 

DARKROOM

• Photogram research (see folder. Can also find your own)

• 3-4 of your own photogram examples (or more!)

• Experiment with some of your photograms -

• cut them up and reassemble?

• crop them to create different compositions?

• layer other text (collage/written/on acetate?) onto them?

 

STUDIO

• Your Studio contact sheet

• 3-4 Images (or more!)

FONT BUILDING

• Font research (find your own examples of hand drawn type - lots of links in Typography folder!)

• Calligraphr hand drawn sheet

• Use your font to type something -

Example Statement

 THE GREEN RAY

Opening Night: 7-9pm Friday 22nd October

Exhibition Continues
12-4pm Saturdays + Sundays until 14th November

Free Entry - no booking necessary

‘If you look west over the ocean at sunset and are blessed with exceptional fortune—the conditions in the atmosphere must be just right—you will witness a green ray shoot up in the distant sky from the vanishing tip of the Sun.
In the 1882 romantic novel Le Rayon-Vert by Jules Verne, the green ray is a mystical blessing left by the departing sun; it symbolises the reclaiming of happiness in the face of imminent disaster.

Central to this exhibition is a chromatic series of women in domestic interiors. There are several references to famous male painters but the mood is distorted, tense and uncertain. The subjects’ private thoughts are not as easily interpreted, the tropes of bourgeois comfort less reassuring. They also now have an additional resonance, when we’ve all spent longer contemplating the physical contours of home.’
