After Easter Meeting

Today we had our first group meeting since the easter holidays. We all brought along the bits of research and sampling we had collected individually so that we could have a group discussion about the direction of our project.

It was really interesting to see the different paths everyone had taken with their individual research, from a fashion outcome and drawings to textiles samples and photography.  As we all talked through our ideas, we had many links and similar ideas which, as a group, we then discussed how we could develop each one. We all found that we had researched into three main areas...

 -decay

 -ageing

 -knitting

We then discussed ways to link these three main themes together with a possible final idea/concept. We decided to push through the knitting idea as it is something that we can all contribute to and the textures fit in really well with our decaying/ageing imagery.

We then had a meeting with Eleanor to explain how we have moved along as a group from before easter. We explained our ideas and the ideas we had had together, and she gave us the idea of including the concept of entropy and how we could link in our fashion research to the idea of identity and how this changes over time. 

These are the notes from this discussion... 

                                                

                                               

We talked about the outcome of our project being a stop motion film as that would directly involve the film and media students who don't want to do any of the knitting/sampling. We also decided that to give our film more depth and make it more conceptual we are going to come up with a narrative to direct the film based around the idea of ageing and how this affects identity.
