Collaborative Wall of Inspiration

Taking into consideration our discussion about colours and materials, we decided that for our next session at Federation House it would be interesting for us all to each collect different materials/ objects focusing on our colour palette/ concept, and create a wall of inspiration, giving us a chance to see how we all approach the brief through physical objects. This was a fantastic idea. It was a means of group collaboration, and really showed how far we have come with the unit- not only over the past month, but also how greatly we have progressed in the last week too. Seeing our process as a physical output was comforting, as in relation to my own practice, I usually begin my research with a series of mood boards, trying to highlight my intentions for textures, colours and themes.
Summing up the past week, I feel as though each of us have began looking at our strengths, and using them now to our advantage. We have all become extremely pro-active in our studies, experimentation and making over the past week, through encouragement from our tutors, and a sense of the project 'coming together'.
