My initial expectations of the project were abit lost, choosing my combination of words and thinking of a topic to start me off I found difficult. I started thinking about shapes and pattern and were we see them daily in buildings and all around us. Taking this on board and thinking of a starting point I went to a mosque as the shape of the actual building and colours interested me then when you enter the inside is beautiful. Rich colours of golds and reds and intricate detailed patterns all up the wall and from there i started drawing really focusing on the small detail that make up the whole picture.
From looking at all my samples together it has made me see how i can develop them further. I feel I need to make them bigger and expand my ideas on a wider scale and stop just look at the small detail but think of how I want it to look as a whole. If I was to start this project again I would look at it in a different way, I would still want to go down the same path but think bigger from the start as I can see how different the outcome would be.
My research and the references I have looked at for this project have definatly helped shape the way I have worked, I got my colours from researching and the way I have taken parts of the pattern and produced my own really helped me with my sampling. From looking at other peoples work I do find similarities with aspects of drawings and ways of thinking but at the same time each piece is individual in its own right.
