Final Major Project

For my Final Major Project we have had to include a Statement of intent to start us off to basically explain what we are planning to do, our influences techniques and processes and time management. At first I didnt really have any idea of what I could do. So I decided to look through all of my past projects to give me some inspiration. I noticed that most of my projects were of a 'Homely' theme, for example my tiles and my patchwork quilt. So I thought that I could make some more household items like a lamp or a photoframe to hopefully be presented in a mock living room set if I have enough time. I will create a character profile of the type of person I think would live there and try to adapt it to them and what style I think they would have in their home. This idea will give me more experience with my sewing abilities and I feel I will learn a lot about interior designing and I will hopefully begin to understand more about colour matching.
I was influenced by a book I was looking through called 'Homemade Gifts' which shown me a lot of ideas for what I want to do.I intend to research other people's homes, by visiting their houses and taking photographs. I also plan on researching the smaller details like old fashioned pattern and colour.
For this idea I am planning on using a wide range of media and materials, mainly textiles but I am also planning on using photography (when photographing the final piece and when researching other peoples living rooms). I plan of visiting a lot of charity shops to get ideas and maybe to buy something to make into my own work.
I will determine if my work has been successful by asking myself whether it turned out the way I envisaged, if it went worse than expected or better than expected. I also plan on keeping a diary of how I feel my work went everyday to analyse my work.
