Planting on a slope

If you need to find an areas slope direction, I recommend using what I've coined The Tarp Technique.

Basically, place a large tarp flat across the spot you want to plant and test the slope with water. It will help you physically see the direction of the waterflow when it rains or when you water with the hose. Then you can plan how to plant the area.

Example ⬇️

I am exploring MOVEMENT through water.

My 3 Electives to develop this through are

Sculpture and combined media

Ceramics

Fashion

As part of the fashion elective we first created some quick shapes on paper from these marks which represented our chosen subject of exploration of which mine was water. I created ripples, waves and undulations found when water is moved by any force. These shapes informed how I designed my fashion pieces.

From here when I continued into my sculpture elective I experimented with water and recreating movement which I did in contained spaces, I recorded the movement of water when force and other fluids and objects are introduced to it. This helped me to capture various forms and shapes which informed a continual development of play.

I brought the expression of the re-created movements into my ceramics elective which developed further and more interesting patterns as a basis to work with clay.

In the end I brought together the water element captured in my ceramic pieces which I turned into a standalone sculpture piece tying in textures from my fashion elective.
