This first week of my new project area has been really exciting and inspiring, and unlike anything I've done before. It has also expanded my mind too think of textiles in a much broader context, rather than simply fabric and techniques.
A group meeting too look at the flip books and initial research other students had done was really inspirational and exciting too look at how other people approach a set task.
Drawing to sound.
This idea of the fragility of marks and surface, and the technique of masking and revealing relates too the idea of memories and the past which I have been thinking about in relation to the archive visits last week, so I think this is something I'll be exploring further into the unit.

Having the chance to use an area of the studio to display work and ideas on for this unit is definitely going to benefit me. Not only will it allow my tutors to get a feel of what I'm doing and what my work is about, but will also help me to make links within my work and create new ideas for development.
Drawing on/over film.

I think that I liked both the drawing and painting onto plain film and the drawing/scratching/editing of the already shot film equally for different reasons. I loved the imagery and marks produced when the drawn on plain film went through the projector, but I really like the concept and action of scratching away and revealing or hiding parts of the already shot film so I think that I will take inspiration in my further work from both of these ideas.
