Renegade Exhibition: Reveals alternative styles of clothing.

Tuesday 14th October 2014

Visiting this exhibition held within the Pavilion Museum was really intriguing in that the display of garments were so diverse, which from the title of the collection you’d expect. From the outgoing, multicoloured patched trousers paired with a grey oversized jersey top to the pinstriped smart trousers covered in belt straps set with worn-looking, leather military boots, everything caught your eye.

For my critical analysis I chose to look at the pin striped trousers covered in straps. The combination of a typically smart pair of trousers,the casual straps along with the personal red thread around the front pockets, just grabbed me. I also really enjoyed the way in which a pair of black military boots sat next to them adding to this personal, rebellious feel of the outfit.

Reflective Journal: The Third Brief

Monday 13th October 2014.

Our 3rd brief consists of a drawing accompanied by a 500 word critical analysis. Initially my thoughts were, ‘What on earth will I draw?’, ‘How will a critically review it?’

My group spent a good hour or so going through what it is to critically review a piece of work and looked at the work of Jennifer Moon, in particular ‘The yellow Wallpaper’. This outlined different pieces of writing and we then discussed whether they were descriptive or critical in the way they were written. Furthermore we then had to write our own piece of writing (approximately 50 words) 3 or 4 times, each time trying to make it more critical. I feel this task really helped me to prepare and feel more confident in carrying out this brief.

I look forward to visiting the Pavilion Museum tomorrow and hopefully creating some drawings I will be able to critically review successfully.
