Research famous patterns used for fashion and interiors. Creating a seamless repeat pattern by hand You will need: Paper (you can use coloured paper!) Your chosen images Scissors Tape Pencil Fold the paper to make a square. Cut off the excess. (If your paper is square already, you can skip this step!) Open up your square. Now you need to create your pattern block! Use your images to fill in the square. Use your mood board to help to design your pattern block. This works best if they are coloured in. You could also use coloured paper. Now fold your paper in half As ACCURATELY as possible cut your vertically. block as shown above. This needs to be as neat and straight as possible! Unfold and fold in half horizontally. Okay, now the tricky bit…. I have labelled my squares with numbers to show you what to do.. You need to swap the squares on the right (2 and 4) with the squares on the left (1 and 3). So you will see on the second image that our ice cream is on the edges and no longer in the middle. Now you need to swap the squares at the top (2 and 1) with the squares at the bottom (4 and 3). You will see on the second image that the pieces of the ice cream are all on the edges now. On the back using tape stick the pieces back together as accurately as you can. Make sure there are no gaps as this will show up in your design. You will be left with a pattern block. Now go back and fill in any white gaps with more icons. You can see I have added my highlighter and a watering can! Your design is now ready to repeat! Now you need to get your design into the computer, I used the app ‘Adobe scan’. However you could take a picture but you need to make sure it’s completely flat on a flat surface. Use the crop tool to make your design a perfect square or as close as possible! Paste your design into a google slides document (or powerpoint). Now you need to copy and paste your design. (Ctrl + C to copy, Ctrl +V to paste). Place it next to your first ‘tile’ keep copying and pasting until you have made a repeat pattern! This was my first ‘test pattern’ - you can see I wasn’t as accurate when I took a picture so you can see my table in the background. If yours looks like this, try using the cropping tool! But as long as you have demonstrated the technique - well done you! Look at Andy Warhol’s repeat pattern of Marilyn Monroe. Consider the other ways he could have created a repeat pattern. Your task on the other side of this page is to experiment with block print layouts by completing the following tasks: 1. Rotate image at a 90° angle. 2. Rotate image at a 180° angle. 3.

The lithographs depict various representations of local gardens; gardens created in a range of ways; and human interactions with these. The works displayed result from a process of critical reflection and creative response in action that finds possibilities in printmaking to highlight ways of seeing gardens in prints. This critical exegesis that accompanies the exhibition draws from the work of theorists George Seddon and Val Plumwood, garden designer William Robinson, author Penelope Lively and philosopher Damon Young. The exegesis also provides discussion of works by four print artists who explore garden themes in their work, namely Virgil Marti, William Morris, Maija Isola, and Édouard Vuillard. Within this framework, the research outcome is in the form of an exhibition of original prints that engage ideas about humans’ relationships with gardens.

One hundred and fifty-six were registered, one hundred and seventy-one attended the banquet. One does not ordinarily expect to be charmed by a lecture on geology. Dr. Paul D. Lowman, Jr. of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center achieved the unusual by teaching his audience a great deal about the synoptic geology, by arousing enthusiasm for a contribution of space flights to our geologic knowledge, and by showing us a large number of fascinating and beautiful color photographs made from the Gemini II space flight. Although many of us found faults in his photographs, few found fault with his lecture. The program as announced in Newsletter number 180-81 was an error. The panel members should have read as follows: Moderator - Max Saltzman - Allied Chemical 1. Dr. Gunter Wyszecki - National Research Council of Canada "Precision and Accuracy of Color Measurement" 2.

  • Bendigo Art Gallery Curator Requested Additional Garments to Bring the Exhibition Content up to 2018
    Curatorial consideration Exhibition theme Established during the golden age of post-war modernism, Marimekko is the Finnish textile and fashion company that achieved international fame in the 1960s and 70s with its bold screen prints and pop-art style graphics. Coinciding with the emerging liberation of women, the founding of Marimekko, or ‘Mary dress’ as the name literally translates, represented a pure concept; free from rules and constraints. The exhibition traces Marimekko’s meteoric rise from the 1950s to the present, and explores the dualities that define its aesthetic. Its iconic fabric patterns and unconventional ready-to-wear outfits brought colour and informality to an otherwise self-conscious fashion world. With more than 60 outfits, swathes of original fabrics, homewares, sketches and other archival materials, the exhibition focuses on the work of the talented individuals who defined this local textile practice and created its internationally recognisable designs. Who/what is Marimekko? • A Finnish design company based in Helsinki • Textiles, furnishings, homewares – a lifestyle approach • Established during the golden age of post-war modernism in 1951 • Artists and designers invited to create textile designs – a collaborative approach Marimekko’s mission • Armi Ratia envisaged a bold future for textile design • Coincided with the liberation of women in 60s, radical loose fitting designs • Original mission is still relevant – to bring joy to everyday moments Marimekko’s first fashion show was held in restaurant Kalastajatorppa, Helsinki, Finland in May 20th, 1951. The fabrics were designed by several designers including Maija isola, Eelis Muona and Eeva-Inkeri Tilhe. Garments were designed by fashion designer Riitta Immonen, who had her own fashion salon / atelée in Helsinki.

Image courtesy Design Museum, Helsinki CHARACTERISTICS OF MARIMEKKO • Contrasts: urban and rural, restrained and bold, colourful and black and white, traditional and modern. • Founded in the early 1950s, the period known as the golden age of post-war modernism in Finland. • (note: Golden Age of Couture – Paris and London were 1947- 1957) • Emerging liberation of women from the traditional role of housewives. • The change in women’s fashions was particularly evident in Marimekko clothes in the mid-1950s. • Vuokko Nurmesniemi’s designs in 1950s: minimized use of cuttings in clothes was typical of her designs, ensuring the original fabric design was as complete as possible. The clothes represented a pure, new concept; they were free from the rules that constrained dress and dictated how women were supposed to look and what they should represent.

Doing things together feeds creativity and innovation. We believe that being a pioneer in print design goes hand in hand with in-house production. Timelessness has been a key ingredient of Marimekko design since the very beginning. We constantly seek new ways to make our timeless, distinctive designs a lasting part of people’s everyday lives. 4 5 MARIMEKKO OUR HERITAGE Armi Ratia signing a message Japan. to Photograph: Matti Saanio, 1978 “Marimekko started out with printed textiles because that was the option that was available to the company. However, the concept could have been equally well expressed in the form of music, poetry, architecture – or even as a new kind of bread, rugs, furniture, ceramics, glass, jewellery, cars, a florist’s shop, ice cream or toys. It is worthwhile for us to be aware of this and keep it in mind when thinking about tomorrow’s – and today’s – Marimekko.” – ARMI R ATIA Marimekko, a Finnish design house and one of the world’s first real lifestyle brands since 1951, was founded by Armi Ratia (1912–1979) – a visionary woman of exceptional courage and imagination.
