First Week at College.

So my first week of college is done. This week we spent two days doing induction work, this work was quite fun really we made 'Dolly Dresses' which were made from doodles about ourselves. They looked quite cute in the end! Here's mine:

 

 

Other than this we had chance to meet new people and get to know them, we had to find out the answers to strange questions like 'whats the strangest food you've ever eaten?' which in our group was dog biscuits, cat food & shark. My groups a quite nice group of people, I have a little group of like 4 friends who are all a quite like me.

 

The last day we were learning about shoes, our first project is architecturally inspired shoes. We spent some time mind mapping on different types and functions of shoes, then we did some research on Tea Petrovic who designed shoes influenced by sculptures by Nuam Gabo and Santiago Calatrava's architecture. Here are some examples their work & Tea Petrovic's shoes:

 

 

 

 

Last lesson we were looking at architecture, we had to print off different images in black and white, later on we were using these to collage over shoes we drew. This was also our homework, to design more of this type of shoes. Here's my homework designs:

College Bag.

I start college tomorrow! I'm going to Chesterfield to do a Fashion and Clothing course, which I'm getting really excited about. so I thought I'd show you what's in my college bag. I got my bag in the Fred Perry sale for such a bargain, absolutely love it! It's huge and I've been using it as a weekend bag but we were told we'd need a huge bag for college so its perfect.

 

 It's only got a few of the 'everyday' bits and bobs in on this, I've also got to take 2 large lever binder thingys so its gonna be pretty full!

This is a Pattern Master, its for drawing patterns and measuring (not quite sure how you use it yet, but hey ho!)

I hate boring notepads and ones that everyone will have so I bought a plain black wilkos one and decorated it with some pictures from some magazines that I liked, think it looks pretty cute! Need to do my other one still though.

I'm using the same pencil case as last year, its Liberty& Hello Kitty and I love it!

 

We have to take a 'toolbox' to put sewing equipment in and I don't have one of those and this is a bit more me, so it'll do the job!

 

Inside the box!

 

My Student Diary I was given with all the important dates.

 

 And lastly some sketching pencils, have coloured ones too but they're in the pencil case.

 

Bit of a different post but, thanks for viewing!xo
