Project Proposal

Patterns, Prints, Wallpaper, will be my proposal for third year.

From the shop project, I am really enjoying in it, because I like shopping so much, so I think that is why I really want to created some products. After doing macmillan,I really enjoyed about making small but repeated figure and would like to make some pattern, so I start to think about maybe create a series of wallpaper for children.

First of all, I found out there is not a big amount choosing for children's bedroom wallpaper, has been look through some designer shop, I went to Chelsea Harbor design center, designer guild, cath kidston, laura ashley, found out there are only few of them suit children. I am also quite interested in children's room design, if its okay, I would like to have have a space, try to design or make a room for children.

Look through the work like this, It would be good to make some wall covering, wall stickers, or wall paper.
for example, a collection of circus, marry-go-around wall paper. collection of transportation, flowers, bugs.
Besides, I have been collect some toy car and some drawing about toy car, it can be my another starting point for this project.



Wallpaper for children was my first idea, in this case, I start to research some artworks related to wall and space, I found out that is very interesting.
There is a lot to talk about how the wall start to connected with paper. functional concern? decoration?After research about this wallpaper project, it reminds me Richard Wright (2009) in Tate Britain, has an artwork about wallpaper. From William Morris, he also work on wallpaper, there is a lot of beautiful pattern which is really inspired me. I also very interested in Chinese and Japanese print, will research more during I back to Taiwan, there is lots of books and information I can get easily. For the technical process, I have to use a lot of workshop and printmaking, may prefer screen print, but also have to learn more different printing techniques.

In order to make sure the process going well, I will set my timeline as learning the printing skills at the first step, and then start to create images, research will be very important for me, the knowledge and also go to shops to see what is really on the market. Start from summer, I will work on doing research about this, no matter artists or designer. Before Christmas, I have to decide what kind of style of wallpaper I am going to make, and also with lots of drawings as reference, also already have printing skills to use workshops and have few sample. In the next year, I should have a series of models, and use it as a starting point, in order to created more and hopefully to make something I like in the end.
