Design Foundation

 

 

We were given the option of picking either a black or white leotard which would be the foundation of our pieces. I chose a white leotard as I thought it suited the bright coloured theme better and it would give me more options when it came to decorating the leotard as I would be able to tye dye it or paint over it unlike the black. When I receieved my leotard and placed it onto the mannequin I was able to see how challenging the project was going to be as I have never really done a textile based piece so I didn't have much knowledge on how to form or piece together the ideas I was wanting to create. However by having the leotard as the basic outline we were able to create around it and onto it which was much easier and less daunting.
