Toile for final piece

I have made the toile for my final piece and I am making a skirt in a typical cheerleading style so I have still made links to my orignal intrest of America. I made 8 panels for my skirt, however when i finished i realised that it was to large and have decieded to remove one panel and gather the skirt into the elastic at the top of the skirt. I am going to add techniques on top of the skirt since I am including materials like chicken wire which will be diffucult to sew. I think i will use the glue gun the add techniques and then the panels which I can sew onto the skirt. In my sketch book I have taken photos of the toile and worked on top of them to show techniques I am going to use.

Adding depth ?

I have looked over my sketch book again and I made clear a clear link, however I have never made clear why I am doing it. So i have went through my sketch book and made a list of why I have done things like fur, certian artists and protest. So to back up these points I am going to

  • The first people to protest
  • On my Human Rights page look at how people are treat?
  • Look at the designer Stella McCartney since she is very anit-fur
  • Add primary images of the student protest about the univerity fees
  • Have a photoshoot at my work Broom House Farm with my protest boards, possibly with the farm animals?
  • Have a page looking at why people protest. Look at Lady Gaga and her meat dress which was designed by FRANC FERNANDEZ.
  • Another designer that I could look at to link to my 'blood' splattered page, Alexander McQueen and his spray paint dress.
  • Look at animals which most fur garments are made out of, fox & rabbit.
  • Eastern europe and the women that the wear fur and why? is it a nessecity?
  • Also adding more fabric samples into my work and more illustrations.
