Evaluation Module 1

Evaluation of my work in Module 1- cross and star shapes:
I have choosen my colour sheme in yellow and violet. I started in september 2010 and finished in februar 2011. In the meantime I spent many hours for reading, writing and made fotos (for my blog). The real workingtime was not so much, about 65 hours for design, stitching and cut out. I have used about 10 hours for paper painting and bonding the fabrics which I have used them. This was a fine time. To work with my computer (blog loading) and writing I was not so happy with it.
After I have finished my work, I have I detected, that I did not make fotos during my working time to show the different stages of my work.
I am happy with my last work in Chapter 1, because I have used all my cut out shapes, which I have had. I layed these shapes together untill I was happy with the results. So I did not have left overs. If I had to do this work again, I should try to make it in another wise, because I think  there exist many other ways to come to similar beautiful  result. At the beginning it was not clear for me to documentate the steps so precisely as necessary.

Joan Miro was born in 1893. When he was a child he got lessons in drawing. He lived in Spain and France. He worked with luminous colours. He worked with the colours: black, green, yellow, blue and red. Through his work he was engaged with three figures: a red circle, the moon and the star. You can find these forms nearly in all his pictures. Characteristic for his work are pictures with mysterious and ironical contents. He used animal forms and twisted them with other geometrical figures.

I have found an illustration of an example of Mola embroidery. The image shows a Mola from a book written by Friederike Kohlhaussen. Mola is a technic used by the Kuna-Indians for their blouses. It is a very famous technic and very old. This people lived in Columbia and Panama.
