10 cultures

After my brief the other week, i decided to look further at patterns in general. I looked at cultures, eras and nature. Once i had researched i decided i would be most interested to look at cultures, so i have chosen for my 100 project; 10 cultures: Africa, China, India, Korea, Japan, Egypt, Greece, Arabia, Persia and Celts. My aim was to created 5 individual patterns which related to each of the cultures, resulting with 50 patterns, with the time i had left is still a stretch as i wanted them to be detailed and not just look like they took 5 minuets. So once my patterns are drawn i intend to screen print them, using two colours one for the background and the second for the pattern. To make my book into '100' individual pieces of work, i was going to print on paper and then on fabric as the effect would be different and my intention for my book was for it to be like a swatch book or cultural patterns. But with the time and resource i had i couldn't. So i rethought and although it would make my screen printing process longer i have decided to print the individual patterns twice but in different colours. However where it is possible i am going to overlay the patterns so the look completely different, this will make the 100 more individual that them just being in different colours.
