PROJECT TITLE Peace and War
Pathway Option (Specialist Option): Fashion
Tutor/s: Jenny Francis
Section 1: The Final Major Project (150 words)
What you intend to make (including how this may relate to your work in the Pathway stage, extends your knowledge, understanding and creative ability)
I intend to create a number of printed t-shirts and an item of military styled clothing. The overall project will have a military theme echoing the current interest in the armed forces as we see more and more troops sent overseas. I intend to use my fine art skills to create a printed design on each t-shirt and I will use the deconstruction/reconstruction idea to produce an additional item of clothing based on a military uniform. I will use a variety of methods to place the designs on the t-shirts which will mean learning new skills and gaining a greater understanding of applying colours and prints to fabrics. The location chosen to photograph the final pieces will need to reflect and compliment the style and feel that I am looking to create.
Section 2: Influences, Research, Sources and Ideas (150 words)
What are your influences and how do these sources represent a realistic starting point for your project. Likely sources of information such as museums, locations, performances.
I was brought up in a family with liberal and peace loving values, when I was 12 I took part in a demonstration against Britain’s involvement in the Iraq War. Recent events have made me question my loyalties, first my foster brother joined the RAF to pursue his life dream of becoming a pilot and then my eldest brother joined the Territorial Army. Drawing on these emotions I want to create military influenced pieces
