Diversity Banners


 








Personal Banner Research 


Aiko Hachisuka 

Makes her sculptures out of old thrifted clothes.


Noah Scalin

Noah creates portraits using old clothes that have been carefully laid out on the ground. Behind the artwork rests hundreds of untold stories about the garments: who made them, who wore them and more.




Reflection Statement

The banner titled "Tied Up" was inspired by the artists Noah and Aiko, their idea to create art with old pieces of clothing that were going to be thrown away really stood out to me. My intent was to visually communicate that anything can become art and to push the idea of being sustainable. I wanted to focus on creating a masculine work of art. I decided to include old ties, a button-down shirt, and pieces of a suit. This piece allowed me to explore the beauty of reusing objects and items that most people would never think to use to create art and to repurpose it into something worth looking at.

Each piece is attached in a way a puzzle would be not glued or held by something else. Because even during the hardest times in life you are the only one who can hold yourself up. The marbles are placed in a way of being on your journey of life. The gabs and marbles that are not clustered together represent being lost or alone until you find your way back on your path. I wanted it to be able to hold flowers like a vase because we as human beings hold such a special place on earth.

Surface pattern ideas

  Surface pattern research  The general idea of a surface pattern design if creating artwork that is not in repeat. I wanted to take the illustrstion route and also incorporate photography. Which is a little different from other surface pattern ideas.  This is some of the things I found about surface patterns during my research  When it comes to designing for products that don’t often repeat, like art on journals or mugs, you may be considered an Illustrator.  An illustration  usually explains or tells some sort of story, so when the art’s main function is to make something pretty, it’s really more in the Surface Pattern Design realm. Surface Design (without the pattern part) can be a good catch-all for how to describe designing for mass-manufactured products that are both patterned and engineered designs
