Brief: “A conversation� My conversation is about green fanged monstrous spiders that are still out there this winter and they are dangerous for us humans. For this project I want to do something related to spiders and greenery environment around these insects. Therefore I’ve decided to go on this root of creating spiders web on different material for experimentation. The material that I will work with will link to greenery and I will also work with different surfaces such as leaves, clay, plastic, acrylic, glass, tiles and many more. The reason for this is because spider inhabit themselves in greenery and this is how the climate gets involved, due to the warmth of the colours , different shades of green with a hint of pink and red as this creates amusing out skate. I will then do delicate work of traditional henna patterns, that will symbolise the plants, trees and flowers. For the final piece my aim and target is to generate pattern work with the adaptations of the spiders web, before I do get on to the final piece I will carry on experimenting with series of material and medium before deciding on one. The final element that I want to create will be for the audience that love spider habitats and adore the pattern work, my target group would be the ones accompanied by greenery so therefore age group would be 18+ for both genders.
My concept is related to spiders, leading to spider web that symbolise figurative spider. I want to visualise the information about the danger of green fanged spiders. I would like to present this information in interesting way, to show what the concept is based on, therefore the spiders web would be the main focus of the overall concept. My main focus is to experimenting with spiders web, then take it one step further by producing range of sketches using different shapes and sizes. I will also try my best to use different techniques to include into my work, I will then develop the work by adding colours to my work, this is when I came in use with the colour wheel, to see which colour goes well with in its contraction. I will then have a look at architectural spiders web work to create a Inimitable spiders web design that involves a lot of geometric patters, Correspondingly that modify its greenery to it, this is because it will to help its colours to stand out after the sketch wok is completed, then try to create it in different materials and accumulate the pattern work together. To do all this I will look at various designers, and work on crockery by painted and drawing patterns of the spiders web on top of it, I went along with this concept of spiders web. I want to along the path to produce something that is link with spider webs.
“A conversation” Script Maryiam: Have you read the newspaper today?
Maryiam: Yeah … ermm but they aren’t any ordinary spiders either!
Iqra: No I haven’t, why what’s happened?
Iqra: Are they not?
Maryiam: Ok, Have a read of this article then?
Maryiam: No, they are big as a tablespoon and they have green fangs.
Maryiam: Hmm … It’s because of the heat-wave we’ve had this year, whereas normally when the weather gets cold all the spiders and other insects die, but the ground is still warm, therefore these green fanged spiders are still out and they’re able to produce new ones.
Iqra: Here let me have a look?
Iqra: Eww, that’s nasty they’ve got green fangs, I better keep a look out them then, I don’t want to come across any of these monsters.
Iqra: Oh ok, I wasn’t aware of all this, don’t you think they should do some sort of pest control to kill all of the harmful spiders.
Maryiam: Yeah ... We all have to be very careful, when they sting it’s as painful as an injection, and the pain that is left behind is worse than any other pain and it gives you a painful sensation. I don’t blame this father of being afraid that these spiders could attack his 3 years old son, any parent would protect their children from these green fanged monsters.
Maryiam: Yeah you’re right they should do a pest control, to get rid of them.
Maryiam: Apparently there are so many spiders in the UK, like 100’s of them. Iqra: Oh my God! I didn’t know that there were so many spiders in the UK. Maryiam: I didn’t even know, till I read the newspaper today, where it status that they are suspected spiders in the UK! Iqra: Really, well I’ve heard that these sorts of insects in Asian counties, but it’s the first time I’m hearing the about in the UK.
Iqra: Hmm … Just you telling me about it, makes e SCARED, look I’ve got goose bumps now! I really don’t want to come across these spiders but what do you think … you know might have caused this?
Iqra: I really hope there’s a bigger solution just then pest control, because they are really dangerous and harmful for us all especially little children. Maryiam: Hmm … I just hope the temperature starts to drop down, if it doesn’t it could become a big problem for everyone, when I say everyone I mean everyone.
Iqra: Yeah you’re right, let’s just hope the weather starts to drop down, even though we don’t like the weather to be cold, and the lights will be long, but at least we’ll get rid of these spiders, and the danger of these green fanged monsters will be over. Maryiam: Yeahh your right!

Mind-Map “A Conversation”
Spider-Web Sketches
I looked at different sorts of spider webs that really influenced me to put into my work, I looked at handful of spider webs, with multiple range of shape, form and size, some where big, small, to an angle and some that covered the whole space. Some where also drawn on objects. After looking various different webs I started to sketch out my own spider web designs in a unique possible way, but keeping the shapes and size similar to its original shape and I was able to adapted my own style into the webs that I sketched out.
Colour Chart
I decided to look at a colour wheel so it can help me decide which colours go well with one another and which patterns will look better when applying into my work.
After I sketched out the spider webs I started the add colours and patterns so that it relates with my web work, I used mainly greens in my work, as I wanted to add more greenery as possible. I kept my pattern work simple and repetitive and tried to adapt other colours with the shades of green, such as the pink, red, and purple to symbolise other types of greenery such as flowers, roses etc.
Acrylic Based Example Work
I then looked at more spider webs, but this time I experimented with architecture based spider webs. From this research I came across a lot of designers that really influenced and inspired me to combine the ideas with my concept. The architecture webs that I have looked at have a lot of geometrical shapes used within the sculptures. The architecture structure are done in a very simple and elegant way that really attracted me to use it and adapt it into my designs. In order to adapt the architecture spider webs I started to work on a plain flat surface and used acrylic paint to give a 3D look. I tried this in three different styles to see how they will turn out to be.
Liz Burow Greenery Work
Liz Burow’s work concentrates on blurring the line between indoors and outdoors, hard and soft scale. Inspired by the topography and greenery of the natural world, Liz has created works that both respect and tease our efforts to domesticate the environment. Her felt-based wall hangings transform our wild landscape into interior décor and discern the beauty of roads and interchanges; her textile designs toy with our urban landscape, transforming familiar symbols into unusual patterns. Liz’s design work considers our impact on our public space, and conceives of ways of bringing this space into our homes.
When Arts Meet Nature: Gabee Meyer
This talented illustrator and pattern designer picks out random leaves and paints contemporary folk designs on them. Based on finding random leaves and paints folk meets contemporary patterns on them. In addition to her leaves project, Gabee is also a very talented illustrator and pattern maker.
Development Work
Here I started to look at more greenery piece of work that will have symmetrical patterns involved with it. The patterns that I have looked at previously uses very fine patterns which I have also done on these green tiles.
After looking at handful of greenery pattern work, I started to work on my own patterns by experimenting on leaves and glass tiles. On these tiles I have combined spiders web and patterns to create this design.
Example Of Glass Bowl Art
I also started to look at glass bowl paintings, mainly the ones that have spider web painted on them, the reason I look at these type on bowls where because so I could adapt that style into my work by adding a stain glass effect to my work and the particular colours that are used in them, I made an attempt on painting on the bowl but it didn’t work out the way I expected it to be like, so therefore this attempt was failed.
Stain Glass Examples
Contemporary Illustration Patterns I stock Gelly Images
Traditional Henna Patterns
Laura Chapman
Laura Chapman’s work refine different things one thing in common all of the pieces are the usage of henna patterns , the patterns that I want to add into my work will adapt into the concept as well, that is because greenery is mainly seen when the weather is warm so around about spring & summer time, so this is where the climate is shown into the work.
She likes to weave intricate patterns into my work as I feel that it is attention to the little details that can be most captivating. More than anything I’m trying to create a visual world that gives the mundane a more magical feel and above all else I want my illustrations to make people smile.
Clarice Cliff Glass & Pottery Work
Clarice Cliff is, today, regarded as one of the most influential ceramics artists of the 20th Century & her work is collected, valued & admired the world over. She was born on January 20th 1899 in Tunstall, Stoke-onTrent & started work at the age of 13 in ‘The Potteries’. Clarice moved to the AJ Wilkinson’s pottery factory in 1916. She was ambitious & her skills were recognised so that eventually she was given her own studio. She creating her own patterns & the famous ‘Bizarre’ wares were launched in 1927.
Clarice Cliff Influential Work
For influence purposes I looked at Clarice Cliff ’s work, her work lead me to doing my own, what I really liked about her work was the colours that she uses and the style that she painted in, that really brought my attention to her work, so after looking at quality work of pottery, I made an attempt on doing my own painting and pattern work on some plates.
I am very proud of the overall result, I personally think I’ve done a pretty well job. For more inspiration I looked at Febrrege art work and the way he uses pattern and his style to enhance and blend together the vibrant colours. This has really got me mesmerising and inspiring.
Peter Carl Faberge Work Peter Carl Faberge, legendary artist-jeweler, goldsmith to the Russian Imperial Court, was the creative and entrepreneurial genius behind the world-renowned company that bore his name. He captured his extraordinary moment in time through exquisite jewels and precious objects that still resonate today with the passions and poignancy of a lost world. Deeply imbued with the spirit of their age, these masterpieces remain timeless in their recherché beauty, breathtaking craftsmanship and absolute dedication to perfection.
Like the swan song of a dying civilisation, Faberge’s jewels, personal accessories and objects of fantasy, richly layered with cultural references, conjure up a vision of Belle Époque, its leisured luxury and ravishing refinement, the fabulous new wealth of tycoons and industrialists. French in their artistic sensibilities but with a profound and poetic Russian soul, Faberge’s works of art, like the stories they tell, continue to exert a powerful fascination as hypnotic today as it ever was.
Final Piece Idea I will create my final piece based on delicate work of traditional henna patterns, which will symbolise the plants, trees and flowers. For the final piece my aim for the final piece is to generate pattern work with the adaptations of the spiders webs, before to do that do I will with two pacific material and medium, which will be glass and leather. The final elements that will be creating will surely connect to the audience that who are spider lovers and adore the pattern work to the extreme level. My target group will be the ones that are accomplished by greenery so henceforth, I will also be using typography within my final piece, but very simple and readable which will be Helvetica. I’ve decided to use simple typography because I would the text to stand out itself as a individual rather than merging with the green patterns work.
