Statement of Intent.

I aim to look at pattern across different cultures around the world and from this create me own. The cultural patterns will be shown mostly through theme and colour, i intend to choose 10 different countries and create 5 different patterns for each. One i have done this i intend to screen print them twice, once on paper and once on fabric. I didn't have much information on individual cultures, so i have now though books, the internet and fabric samples found different cultural patterns to help me distinguish their individual pattern themes and colour. I shall then draw and common patterns to create my own 5 bigger patterns for each country. 

I intend to start my process by hand drawing my images in pen and developing these into screen prints on fabric and paper, this will give the effect of a sample book which i what my overall intentions for the book are. My plans are to draw and create my patterns over the weekends and the night and to screen print when is available through the day and drop in. I will develop my skills in screen printing as at the moment they are quite basic. I shall also gain knowledge on the cultures i intend to look at. 

Throughout this project i feel i should randomly ask people what culture these patterns they think are form and what colours they think relate to this subject, as i want these patterns to contrast from culture to culture. I shall evaluate this in my sketch book next to the patterns. I shall also evaluate my work through crits and group work, as i can get feedback on how effective my patterns are and how my project is working.

Pattern

Over Christmas i collected various types of patterns that i liked. I also visited an old stately home 'Temple Newsam' there were so many varieties of pattern in just one place hear, i photographed wallpaper, fabric furniture, and the architecture from the building. I found the most interesting an intricate pattern samples from hear. In my collection of pattern, i find the floral ad decor patterns the most interesting and would love the chance to expand on these with my own ideas.

What is a Book?

A physical object consisting of a number of pager bound together. It is a set or collection of written, printed, illustrated or blank sheets, made of paper, parchment, or other material, usually fastened together to hinge at one side.  Within a book, a single sheet is known asa leaf, and each side of the leaf is know as a page. There is not just a physical form of a book, but also an electrical known as an e-book. Generally books and separated between fiction and non-fiction, books can also be distinguished between hard-back with a stiff binding and paperback which have flexible covers and tend to be less durable. An alternative to a paperback is a glossy cover or a dust cover found on magazines or comic books. You can also find spiral bound books examples of these are, teachers manuals and puzzle books. Book Binding is the physical process of assembling a book, from a number of folded or unfolded sheets of paper or other material..
