Melting Pot

This project was great fun, still learning and it was def good practice to present it to the class as this was my first proper presentation in about 4 years and i find it difficult to communicate my ideas. Got some good criticism from a few of the tutors, must say i have learned that i am not great at taking criticism... i get quite defensive, i feel like art is not to be so criticised if the work comes from a true place but then realised the tutors were only criticising the sketch book as i was not communicating my thoughts as well as i could :) so thats clear.

Thoughts from Sarah

How much do I Know about Fashion?
-I know that right now Rihanna is the Hot ish fashion ikon and Lady Gaga is a Crazy Lady

What do the clothes we wear say about us-Does what we wear define us?
-Clothes can show whether we care about our apperiance. To me cleanliness is way more important than an outfit :) Clothes do not define us, i would say what we do defines us

Who dictates fashion?
-The most free people.... the people who do not fear.

Successful People - Will Smith

There is no doubt Will Smith is a huge success, i will put my reasons in bullet points so i don't get sidetracked:

>He does what he loves and has been for more than 20 years

>Made the transition from Pop Star to Movie Star which is very rarely done

>Is now the highest paid actor in Hollywood and is known as the hardest working (says forbes)

>speaks two languages

>has a beautiful family and seems very content.

6 weeks in

everything is still positive, I am enjoying everyday of the course and look forward to the start of the week more than the start of the weekend. Today we started our melting pot project in the Design unit and its great because this is a perfect opportunity for me to explore areas i am passionate about.... I have chosen to design a Varsity Letterman Jacket because i like the original design and love what they represent. I guess they are the equivalent to the sports ties you can earn in school in this country when you perform good in school sports. (Maybe this was just at my school , so if you are unfamiliar with sports ties/half colours, forgive my ignorance - i have done no research) Anyway in the US, high performers in High school or college sports such as Football and Baseball earn these letterman Jackets and they would be considered popular guys who attracted girls..... and that is what people associate these jackets with and i think its cool.
