This was the first sample I made using masking tape. I used my shoe to create this shape and used a black marker to create the pattern on the shoe. The pattern has been simplified from a pattern that I found in a magazine. I covered my shoe with this masking tape to create a hard model that I could tear off. I found that creating simple patterns was much better than creating complex ones and the overall look was better.This is my second model, which was useful to me because I used it to contribute to my final piece. I liked the range of shapes and how it almost looked like a rose from a higher viewpoint. Creating these models was useful to me because I could place them on the mannequin and picture what type of clothing I could create. Also the different shapes of each model gave me a variety of different options to choose from when it came to my final piece.I didn’t really like this final sample as I felt that it was slowly falling apart and to recreate this however many times would be too complexed. I used both masking tape and paper to create this sample.

when creating my samples I had to choose the subject that I wanted to look at. I chose to look at abstract expressionism and using the magazine I brought in, looked at a specific pattern/ shape that attracted me and drew the simplified patterns into 3 large boxes.

Using masking tape, I taped Half of my shoe to create a model then layering the tape to make it strong enough to peel and keep its form. Once I teared the masking tape off I used one of the patterns I had drawn and created a sample. Then I used masking tape and paper to create my next two models.

Creating these samples was useful to contributing to my final piece as I used them to come up with my final shape. Once I had my final shape, I worked out what my final piece could possibly look
