What do you want to achieve over the final 8 weeks on the Foundation

Programme?
Please respond to the questions below as a starting point. This
document is a Prop/Prompt for you and your developed answers
should be loaded as a scribd document in an appropriate position on
your Weebly site. You will update this proposal as you move through
the project, do not delete initial statements, add a date each time you
add a new statement to a particular section.
The final document should be loaded to your Weebly by the 6th of May.
Question 1
Reflect on your work you've created so far and consider on how your use of materials, tools, techniques
and processes reflect the broader ideas and message that you are interested to convey.

What materials, tools, techniques and processes have you used and how can you employ a broader
range of materials and techniques to explore your theme in Module 3?

During the last module I worked allot with hem stitches and embroidery, i want to bring
that through into this module if possible, i think the embridery will fit in nicely with my
project and the pin hems will also be useful when creating my piece.

Question 2
Reflect upon the audience and method of dissemination for your work.

What does it communicate and who is it communicating to? What does it offer to the
viewer/customer/client and their lifestyle? Where will the work be situated? How can you market your
work?

I think the audience I want to market towards is rebellious teens and young adults
especially those belonging to subcultures, I think my work would be best percieved as
something worn or as a design to eventually be created as a piece of clothing.

Question 3
We make, design, and produce work to be shared, and to elicit a reaction or provoke a response.

What response would you like to provoke in your Audience/Client/Viewer/User? Are you the kind of
designer/artist/producer who aims to disrupt - to entertain or to question? Is your work ironic, playful,
educational or political? Use this space to think about the response of your target audience on viewing
your work - how do you want them to react? What is an ideal response?

I want my work to be disruptive and thought provoking.

What is your Project Concept?

In previous projects, we have focused on outcomes or objects, for this module we are
expecting you to design an investigation and for this to lead to an appropriate
outcome/object which embraces your specialism and matches your burgeoning
ambition.
Please outline the project themes - and the ideas that you wish to explore. Focus on the meaning
behind the work rather than processes, materials or skills. (There is a space for this information
further on in the document) This is a short module - so it is critical that you make a swift decision
and commit to an investigation early. We know that this is hard - but push yourself and work to get
to the making, design and production stage with confidence.

I want to look at trad goths, subcultures and religious clothing, I think this investigation
will lead to some interesting outcomes and allow me to create something provocative and
interesting to look at.

Please give an overview of the project here.

What will your work look like? What technologies/tools/equipment/processes will you use?

I want my piece to be fabric, I definetly want to deepen my knowledge of embroidery and

clothing design and i think fabric will best allow me to create within the theme i have
chosen to pursue.

What skills will you need to develop in order to complete the work?
What will you need to learn? What existing strengths do you have that can help you to succeed?

Im deffinety going to have to learn more about subcultures, and garment design for this
buti think my learned skills from the last two modules will help me to complete this task.

What will you do to sustain your practice and to develop your motivation,
understanding and confidence?
This focus of this question is your research practice - what has already inspired, informed and
influenced you? How can you push yourself beyond your comfort zone here?

I have read "SUBCULTURE the meaning of style" by dick hebdige this has already
inspired allot of academic interest into the topic of subcultures and the political and fashion
history of subcultures, I have picked up another book on goth fashion which im hoping will
push my investigation to the next level.
This is a short module - and scheduling your activity and planning out your production arc will help
to ensure that you keep the project on track, with time to make a quality artefact for the exhibition.
The best project concept in the world will not lead to a successful outcome without good, pragmatic
planning. Remember, gathering or "procuring" materials will take time - and supplier availability and
high costs will slow you down and impact on your ability to make work. You must factor this into
your schedule. A prohibitively high cost on a particular material or item may prompt you to
investigate a more easily sourced and cheaper alternative, which can improve your carbon footprint
- and improve the "sustainability" of the project.

Resources, Services and Tools - What will I need and what steps must
be taken to ensure access and availability?
What do you think you will need to complete the project? How can you begin to negotiate access and
co-ordinate your making with availability?

Resource - Service or Tool How do I access/acquire What additional understanding,

(Add to the list as you this? expenditure or skill do I need to
progress) exploit this resource well?
embroidery thread buy it potentially need to leran how touse a
embroidery machine
fabric buy it knowledge on fabric types to pick the
most succesful fabric
sewing machine studio N/A

drawing equipment studio N/A

Sustainability
Use this page to identify aspects of your project relating to sustainability, unnecessary waste, and
environmental concerns. What might you do to manage this and reduce your impact? If you can’t
manage it directly, could you take action to offset your carbon footprint? How will you plan for the
end of life of your object/s, how will you remove it from the studio at the end of the exhibition and
how will you recycle and dispose of it? What is the recycling / disposal protocol for the materials you
are using? How is this affected once you combine materials together?

I want to reuse materials, potentially things i have in my closet but no need for or charity
shop finds or potentially something from the fabric scraps bin in the fashion or foundation
areas of campus, however there may be some things i will have to buy to make my piece
the best it can be.

Project Budget
Please list below any cost or expenditure associated with your project. The aim here is to identify
the actual cost of the work you have made, rather than the projected cost of a proposed outcome.
You do not need to list those materials that are freely available in the studios (paper/pencils/acrylic
paint etc) but do include more specific materials such as fabric, wood, superglue, neoprene etc. You
can add to this list as you progress through the project.

Item Purchased Supplier Cost

The Exhibition and planning for it is a key part of this module and must be considered alongside your own
emerging project. What are you going to exhibit? How should it be presented? How have other creatives
presented similar work? Research is key to help you to identify formats, conventions, and approaches to
sharing your outcome.

My planned outcome is best described as...

(Think about how the work will be created rather than how it will be shared or exhibited)

Traditional 2D (Drawing, Painting, Collage using real Yes No Not sure

tools/surfaces/materials) (Maybe)
Digital 2D - (Images produced using digital tools such as +
procreate/photoshop etc.

Photography (Traditional or digital) +

3D Sculptural or Decorative object +

3D Functional or Practical Object +

Moving image piece - live action, Animation or Experimental hybrid. +

Virtual piece - (Augmented reality, 3D modelled object etc) +

Performance Based Piece +

Installation piece +

Design, Client Brief or Pitch. +

Design layout sheet or schematic. +

In terms of Physical scale my anticipated outcome will be...

Small Scale – Smaller than a teapot – bigger than a breadbox. no
Medium Scale – Bigger than a breadbox - smaller than a bicycle. no
Large Scale – Bigger than a bicycle - Smaller than a garden shed. yes
A collection or Series maybe
Unknown/undefinable no

In terms of its digital footprint my anticipated outcome will be...

A “Showreel” Piece of moving image less than a minute long no
A “Showreel” Piece of moving image between one minute and five minutes no
long
A “Platform” virtual Piece requiring its own computer. no
A Projected piece requiring a computer and projector no
Other – Please specify no

In the context of planning the end of year exhibition is your piece best
described as…

A 2D piece of work fixed to a flat wall.

A 3D piece of work suspended from a secure

point in the ceiling.

A large floor mounted 3D object yes

A small 3D object displayed on a table or plinth.

A moving image sequence which could be part

of a showreel.

A virtual tool or artefact accessed through a

computer, tablet or smart phone.
What will need to be in place in order for you to complete your final
piece and to achieve your ambition and aims?

potentially some kind of manequine head or body and some wall

space

What are the Health and Safety risks associated with my chosen
pipeline, workflow or exhibition method?
You must pick at least three and go on to explain the steps that you will take to ensure your
own safety and that of the people around you while working on the project. Evidence that you
have researched how this is managed in the creative industries AND applied it to your own
situation will enhance your submission.

Please note that while some substances may not be toxic or harmful, they may still have an
adverse impact on your peers. You will need to discuss any materials not already in regular use
in the studio with your tutor.
