Task 1 – Part 1

What do you want to achieve over the final 8 weeks on the

Foundation Programme?

Please respond to the questions below as a starting point. This

document is a Prop/Prompt for you and your developed answers
should be loaded as a scribd document in an appropriate position
on your Weebly site. You will update this proposal as you move
through the project, do not delete initial statements, add a date
each time you add a new statement to a particular section.

The final document should be loaded to your Weebly by the 6th of

May.

Question 1
Reflect on your work you've created so far and consider on how your use of materials,
tools, techniques and processes reflect the broader ideas and message that you are interested to
convey.

What materials, tools, techniques and processes have you used and how can you employ a broader
range of materials and techniques to explore your theme in Module 3?

I will be using elements from various modules I have done. Such as…
-Creative Costuming – conceptual costume making from a brief
-Stills and Stories – telling a story through photography: I am telling a story through each
stage through taking photos of my process
-Meaningful Marks – using different creative mediums: I will incorporate mixed mediums
to produce different effects on my products

As well as the DSLR workshop and InDesign workshop.

Question 2
Reflect upon the audience and method of dissemination for your work.

What does it communicate and who is it communicating to? What does it offer to the
viewer/customer/client and their lifestyle? Where will the work be situated? How can you market
your work?

My audience is anyone interested in fashion whilst communicating themes of mental health

awareness, alongside showing the garments at the exhibition I will have a photoshoot with
printouts/posters advertising the product.
Question 3
We make, design, and produce work to be shared, and to elicit a reaction or provoke a response.

What response would you like to provoke in your Audience/Client/Viewer/User? Are you the kind of
designer/artist/producer who aims to disrupt - to entertain or to question? Is your work ironic,
playful, educational or political? Use this space to think about the response of your target audience
on viewing your work - how do you want them to react? What is an ideal response?

My work is made to raise awareness for mental health alongside it being able to cater to a
wide audience as it isn’t high fashion. My pieces should resonate with some of the
audience and they are wearable for the general population.

Task 1 – Part 1

What is your Project Concept?

In previous projects, we have focused on outcomes or objects, for this module we

are expecting you to design an investigation and for this to lead to an appropriate
outcome/object which embraces your specialism and matches your burgeoning
ambition.
Please outline the project themes - and the ideas that you wish to explore. Focus on the meaning
behind the work rather than processes, materials or skills. (There is a space for this information
further on in the document) This is a short module - so it is critical that you make a swift decision
and commit to an investigation early. We know that this is hard - but push yourself and work to
get to the making, design and production stage with confidence.

My project concept is a collection of re-worked clothing with themes of mental health

awareness and how it effects the body and mind, I will use different fabrics/materials, types
of distressing and repair.

Please give an overview of the project here.

What will your work look like? What technologies/tools/equipment/processes will you use?

My Project will be a small collection of reworked clothes, I plan on suspending clothes

from the ceiling, using a small wooden rod about ruler size, tied to a bit of fishing wire to
try and make the garment look likes it floating. I also would like to exhibit a photo shoot
and plan on either making a book or posters

What skills will you need to develop in order to complete the work?
What will you need to learn? What existing strengths do you have that can help you to succeed?
 I will need to strengthen my skills on a sewing machine, as I have limited experience
however, I have been practicing and I‘m happy with my progress,

What will you do to sustain your practice and to develop your motivation,
understanding and confidence?
This focus of this question is your research practice - what has already inspired, informed and
influenced you? How can you push yourself beyond your comfort zone here?

My main motivation is wanting to learn how to sew and create clothing as I think it would
be incredibly useful moving forward into a fashion course, even if I’m not doing textiles.
Alongside this I will research different companies that use reworked clothes to increase my
knowledge.

Task 1 – Part 2

This is a short module - and scheduling your activity and planning out your production arc will
help to ensure that you keep the project on track, with time to make a quality artefact for the
exhibition. The best project concept in the world will not lead to a successful outcome without
good, pragmatic planning. Remember, gathering or "procuring" materials will take time - and
supplier availability and high costs will slow you down and impact on your ability to make work.
You must factor this into your schedule. A prohibitively high cost on a particular material or item
may prompt you to investigate a more easily sourced and cheaper alternative, which can
improve your carbon footprint - and improve the "sustainability" of the project.

Resources, Services and Tools - What will I need and what steps
must be taken to ensure access and availability?
What do you think you will need to complete the project? How can you begin to negotiate access
and co-ordinate your making with availability?

Resource - Service or Tool How do I access/acquire What additional understanding,

(Add to the list as you this? expenditure or skill do I need to
progress) exploit this resource well?

Sustainability
Use this page to identify aspects of your project relating to sustainability, unnecessary waste,
and environmental concerns. What might you do to manage this and reduce your impact? If you
can’t manage it directly, could you take action to offset your carbon footprint? How will you plan
for the end of life of your object/s, how will you remove it from the studio at the end of the
exhibition and how will you recycle and dispose of it? What is the recycling / disposal protocol for
the materials you are using? How is this affected once you combine materials together?

I will be using second hand clothes to be as sustainable as possible, as well as making my

own hangers from scrap wood to reduce plastic waste, at the end of the exhibition I plan to
keep the clothes for myself so nothing is wasted.

Task 1 – Part 2

Project Budget
Please list below any cost or expenditure associated with your project. The aim here is to identify
the actual cost of the work you have made, rather than the projected cost of a proposed
outcome. You do not need to list those materials that are freely available in the studios
(paper/pencils/acrylic paint etc) but do include more specific materials such as fabric, wood,
superglue, neoprene etc. You can add to this list as you progress through the project.

Item Purchased Supplier Cost

S/S tshirt British Heart £4

L/S Tshirt Cancer £4

Research

Fabric paint Hobby Craft £4

Scrap wood Studio

Jacket Girl Friend RRP-£50

Gifted

Chicken wire Studio Appx. £1

 Super Glue Studio £4

The Exhibition and planning for it is a key part of this module and must be considered alongside your
own emerging project. What are you going to exhibit? How should it be presented? How have other
creatives presented similar work? Research is key to help you to identify formats, conventions, and
approaches to sharing your outcome.

My planned outcome is best described as...

(Think about how the work will be created rather than how it will be shared or exhibited)

Traditional 2D (Drawing, Painting, Collage using real Yes No Not sure

tools/surfaces/materials) (Maybe)
Digital 2D - (Images produced using digital tools such as x
procreate/photoshop etc.

Photography (Traditional or digital) x

3D Sculptural or Decorative object x

3D Functional or Practical Object x

Moving image piece - live action, Animation or Experimental hybrid. x

Virtual piece - (Augmented reality, 3D modelled object etc) x

Performance Based Piece x

Installation piece x

Design, Client Brief or Pitch. x

Design layout sheet or schematic. x

In terms of Physical scale my anticipated outcome will be...

Small Scale – Smaller than a teapot – bigger than a breadbox.

Medium Scale – Bigger than a breadbox - smaller than a bicycle. x
Large Scale – Bigger than a bicycle - Smaller than a garden shed.
A collection or Series x
Unknown/undefinable

In terms of its digital footprint my anticipated outcome will be...

A “Showreel” Piece of moving image less than a minute long
A “Showreel” Piece of moving image between one minute and five minutes
long
A “Platform” virtual Piece requiring its own computer.
A Projected piece requiring a computer and projector
Other – Please specify

In the context of planning the end of year exhibition is your piece

best described as…

A 2D piece of work fixed to a flat wall.

A 3D piece of work suspended from a secure x

point in the ceiling.

A large floor mounted 3D object

A small 3D object displayed on a table or plinth.

A moving image sequence which could be part

of a showreel.

A virtual tool or artefact accessed through a

computer, tablet or smart phone.

What will need to be in place in order for you to complete your final
piece and to achieve your ambition and aims?

I will need to gather all the materials and attend studio time.

Project Planning and Scheduling

You cannot pass this module without completing a schedule. You must complete a realistic

What are the Health and Safety risks associated with my

chosen pipeline, workflow or exhibition method?
You must pick at least three and go on to explain the steps that you will take to ensure your
own safety and that of the people around you while working on the project. Evidence that
you have researched how this is managed in the creative industries AND applied it to your
own situation will enhance your submission.

Please note that while some substances may not be toxic or harmful, they may still have an
adverse impact on your peers. You will need to discuss any materials not already in regular
use in the studio with your tutor.
