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.
