Metaphorical Fashion Part 3+4 - Transformation @APR Project 2/3

 Transforming our Jackets into their fullest expression:

How does our first image inspire the second? What is the goal of your defense mechanism and how do we show clearly the way it protects you? What do you wish your jacket could turn into?

Process for Today:

1. Start with similar colors and textures as your jacket, and with light sketch lines if needed - decide how you want to show the full effect of the protective jacket in the second half (or 2/3) of the paper with your model on it. Make sure you designate a space to write a description of your Jacket and its function as you claim space.

2. Just like the previous session - think about the shapes and structures required to show us what you are trying to communicate. Most of us will tend to go smaller and less extreme - what happens if you dial your idea up by 25%? 50%? What if there was no such thing as too crazy or too big, within the boundary of the page? How do you move through the discomfort that might come up to make something loud, that may mean a lot for you?

3. Once you have a sense of where the main shapes are going - GLUE EVERYTHING DOWN. We don't want to lose any of the important shapes you are making!

4. Reorganize the space for the students coming in after you, who will be doing the same thing. Make sure your name is somewhere on the paper!

*Focus on the paper structure part today - for the next session drawing tools will be available for finishing touches and writing about our jacket purpose/protection style.

Process for final session on this project:

1. Before we jump into finishing our piece - take 5 minutes to write down on your planning paper: 

a. What does your Jacket transform into?

and

b. how does it protect you?

Once you have those questions answered, you can sketch them into the place on your piece designated for that. If there are other necessarily drawn components, please sketch everything out in pencil first to make sure you like it - then proceed with more permanent markers or pencils. How can we treat the writing part as an important component to the finished artwork?

2. If there are any unfinished portions, or things you discovered you need to add to make your vision more complete - this is your time! If you missed an earlier session during this project, this is your time to cover lost ground!

3. Reset the space!

4. Depending on how much work needs to be done, there may be some time for reflection - If not, we will start the following week with one.
