Section One: Title, objective, responsibilities

 

Title or working title of project (in the form of a question, commission or design brief) We were asked to create a large garment by Warrington Wolves for the giant Queen. This was to take place in the Chester Giants Parade to celebrate the Queens jubilee. We had 8 weeks to do this task. Within this time frame i explored lino printing techniques, researching information about Queen Elizabeth II and sculptors and puppetry. After completion I had a lot more practice with the lino printing technique and a lot of knowledge about the queen.  Project objectives (eg, what is the question you want to answer? What do you want to learn how to do? What do you want to find out?): We wanted to learn how to print and the design cycle helped us to do this. Research>Exploration>Development>Evaluation We decided on doing a lino print for the queens dress this was because it was the easiest and quickest way for the amount of time we had to do the dress. We also thought that it looked the best and stood out more which would make the garment look better! We did a lot of research into the queen and the printing techniques in order to make the garment to the best of our ability.                                     If it is a group project, what will your responsibilities be? My responsibilities include product management (to create the garment) I have to have good time management. I also responsible for helping to creating the design of the dress. We also have to consider the costing of the fabric.

Section Two: Reasons for choosing this project

Reasons for choosing the project (eg, links to other subjects you are studying, personal interest, future plans, knowledge/skills you want to improve, why the topic is important): We chose the project as it is good work experience and good for the CV, we had to stay to industry deadlines industry fees and expectations. It also links to my art course as I was doing a printing project so this has helped my printing techniques. This topic was important because it was a worldwide celebration for the queens jubilee. Doing this project has given me a lot of experience with the lino printing technique which has been very useful as I was doing 'A Tale Of Two Prints' project along side this extended project.   Section Three: Activities and timescales Activities to be carried out during the project (eg, research, development and analysis of ideas, writing, data collection, numerical analysis, rehearsal techniques, production meetings, production of final outcome, administration, evaluation, preparing for the presentation, etc): Researching Warrington Wolves foundation/Chester- the Giants/Pictures of the Queen/ Printing techniques/ history of the Queen/ The Queens sculptor. Development and anaylsis of research Writing - communication of blog, presentation sample folder with annotation. Production meeting - viewing of the sculpture, dressing of sculpture and finally jubilee visit. Exploration making samples and drawings of the queen (designs) Development and production  Making the prints for the dress, taking/finding photographs of the queen, step by steps through samples and annotations. Evaluation  Evaluating what went wrong, what I could have done better and how to make it better Presentational methods you want to explore? BLOG  How long this will take: 7 days 7 days 2 days 3 days 5 days 1 day Thorough out whole project Milestone one: 1 to 1 tutorials Target date (set by tutor-assessor): 21st September Milestone two: 1 to 1 tutorials Target date (set by tutor-assessor): 16th November Section Four: Resources What resources will you need for your research, write up and presentation (eg, libraries, books, journals, equipment, rehearsal space, technology and equipment, venue, physical resources, finance) Equipment The equipment I have used in my research has been books and the internet. Pencils to draw my sketched of the queen. A piece of lino and a lino cutter for the actual lino cut. Then finally the fabric that we printed onto. Rehearsals April - we visit the queens giant head May - completion of the garment     May - hand over to client warrington wolves Technology  When doing my presentation I used an online presentation webiste called Prezi What your areas of research will cover? Print Queen Sculpture I will research The Queens history to help me to do this project to the best of my ability. I will also research into print so that we know what the best type of printing technique is best for the garment. I have also researched into sculpture and puppetry for example Nick Elphick who sculpted the queens head for the parade.  Comments and agreement from tutor-assessor Is the learner taking this project as part of the Diploma?                                                          Yes/No If yes, which Diploma are they taking?   ______________________________________________ Comments (optional): Is project derived from work which has been/will be submitted for another qualification?          Yes/No Which qualification (title and unit)?      _______________________________________________ Comments (optional): I confirm that the project is not work which has been or will be submitted for another qualification and is appropriate.
