I am a senior in the Visual Arts Department, at Duke Ellington School of the Arts in Washington, D.C. This is my second year at this school, because I transferred last year.
As a senior I must have a series of 12 to 24 pieces of art, of a theme. Considering the fact that I am in AP Studio Art, I must complete about fifteen. My series topic is:
AFRICAN FABRICS/ FASHION.
It has been a struggle finding inspiration, and continuing with the pieces that I have started. I have found some inspiration here and there from African clothing designers from African Fashion week. And i am trying to get tickets to the show, but I realized that the show was after I graduated. Anywho, I did contact one of the designers, Arewa Designs, and she is willing to speak with me and possibly give me advice as well. I really wanted to do my series on fashion, but also something with Africa. I love the fabrics. So far I have been doing collage pieces, and paintings, with fabric in them.
These are photos that are semi-completed, or are completed. I have struggled some, but I think it will be strong in the end.
Collages
Feedback on my series would be lovely!
