In today's lesson we started our sketchbooks. However instead of doing it on the project brief, we started on how to produce quality sketchbook pages that are exciting to look at.
For my first page I layered it with newspaper and then using a stencil I made by cutting out 1cm squares, I layered the paint with different colours of paint.
For my seconds page in my sketchbook, I wanted to use a theme, don't chose 'Alice in Wonderland'. I folded the pages so it looked like a sort of leaflet and drew the rabbits pocket watch on, surrounded by flowers. On the inside I drew Alice her self with coloured pencils to make her a focus point on the page. I then layered the page with parcel paper and drew different characters from the original book and stuck then onto the page. On the second page I took a quote from the Cheshire Cat. I then painted the page black leaving the quote and the cats eyes and grin in white.
Also while doing this, I made homemade paper in the textiles workshop. The pulp for the paper had already been prepared. As the paper pulp was set in a container of water, I used a sift to pull out the pulp. I then placed it onto a cloth, removed excess water using a sponge and peeled away the sift so the paper was stuck to the cloth. I then moulded the paper around a balloon so that when it dried it created a dome that could be used in my final design.
