A one to one turorial with my specialist area tutor was really good in helping me to recognise how I can develop my drawings further this week before I begin transferring the ideas and properties of these drawings into my knit sampling.
An important thing that I was told that I need to think about before I go into knitting is the concept behind this project althrough the brief of "urban influences" has aided me in my drawings in order to go into knit a more considered concept is definitely needed. This will be key in the techniques and use of yarn, colour and compoisiton that i use in my samples, as I will be trying to communicate this concept through what I am knitting. From my drawings, I think that the concept will be based around this idea of the disection or distortion of architecture, due to the layered, broken, collaged effect of my drawings that have come from my drawings from around the city. This week I'll definitely be thinking about this concept through use of a spider diagram to think of some key words that explain this concept and aid techniques I can use in my knitting.
In terms of drawing development, we both agreed that my drawings are succesful and are much better now that I have been thinking about tones of colour and colour compettetion, and have also been developing them as collage type compositions. To push these further, Laura recommended to experiment with changing the backgrouunds and push the colour a little further to create more interesting pieces without that becoming a bit "samey". Experimenting more with composition and layering will also stop this happening
.
In terms of contextual references, I'm still massively inspired by the drawings of Daniel Libeskind due to his use of abstraction and quality of line that represents his architecture. I think that my disection and distortion of architecture through my compositional type drawings reflects this inspiration.

Also, the paintings by Cathy Read really captured my eye and instantly reminded me of my work when I saw hers whilst researching. I think it is her use of colour that I'm interested in along with the structure her drawings contain.
