1st Brief - Sotonia
Unfortunately I lost the brief details by the time I made this. However the idea was for us to explore Southampton and produce 9 pieces of work, based on the instructions of the brief. Those that I followed were (theses descriptions are from memory :S)
- Find an item of your choice and design a t-shirt around it.
- Go to French & Sons shoe shop and draw a pair of shoes.
- Design a weather vane for the Royal Pier.
- Buy a vinyl record from a charity shop and redesign the cover.
- sketch the whale skeleton in the museum of natural history and design a menu around it.
- Sketch 10 faces at the John Lewis cafe in West Quay.
- Draw the Titanic Memorial.
- Draw something interesting in Mayflower Park.
- visit the Bargate Memorial Gallery and draw something of interest.
