Btech 2014 Design Process

The starting point for practice, being a manufactured woven component at which point one would draw and design to facilitate a resolution to any perceived design flaws and issues relating to technical process and fabrication. As in the case of drawing the process of design only starts manifesting results once time is set aside for practice and brain storming. Marion Richardson (cited by Macrae 2001:137) states that, “Unless a child is expressing his own vision he is expressing nothing at all”. The statement was made in reference to children’s art. One can draw the conclusion as to the relevance of this quotation by Richardson to the drawing and design process as it relates to action research. Design was mostly informed through the manufactured woven work and could not be resolved separate from it. Figure 13 and 13.1 shows this process one then go through to get to the reflection stage in figure 13.2 that follows through to resolution in figure 13.3
