During this week I decided on my final topic ideas to develop for my FMP. I finally decided to go with Geometric shapes and patterns and Bee's, specifically Honeybee's. The reasons why I chose Geometric shapes is because I love the neat, sharp and straight lines they produce; also when they are layered together underlining patterns are produced which can bring depth to a print. The reason why I chose to use Bee's within my FMP is simply because I find then fascinating and uniquely beautiful. After deciding on these two subjects I had to find a connection between them which was simple, Honeybee's produce honey in cells which are hexagonal shaped and as you may or may not know a hexagon is a main geometric component.
After deciding on these two subject areas I began to find relating artists and designers; I carried out my research within my sketchbook. The artists and designers I have researched into are:
Geometric shapes/patterns:
- Andy Gilmore.
- Vanessa Bruno.
- Michelle Hinebrook.
- Zarah Hussain - Primary research (Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery)
Bee's:
- Alexander McQueen.
- Craig Fellows.
- Claire Moynihan.
- Primary Research - Bee Farm in Scarborough.
