Welcome to Jessica Lucys blog

I am in my third and final year at Bolton University and I cannot believe it! 3 years has passed by so quick!.


This year I have to choose a theme that interests me and gather as much information for a great outcome. I am currently looking at Chinese and Japanese art and their traditions that have influenced the work.
I need to work collectively toward fashion or interior products. I am interested in interior so my work is going to revolve around that and any galleries i visit and pictures i collect will arrive on here.
Also I will be showing some of my year 2 work which I designed work for Hallmark.which includes giftwrap, gift bags and gift tags. My theme for this was animals and bright colours for a little boys birthday, which i found very exciting to produce!!

As for now thank you for being interested and i will be sure to keep you updated. :D

Matthew Williamson

I am now working towards tropical flowers and designing for chairs and bedding. More like a bedroom style of work. I have been on visits to garden centers and to interior design companies.
Here are some Matthew Williamson designs I think are a perfect interest for my work..
they are bright beautiful tropical flowers that inspire me

Back to Normal

Now that christmas has finished and we have been back for nearly 3 weeks everything
is back to normal now.
I have started producing designs for this semester in a brand new sketchbook and we found out our results from semester 1 last week and i am very very pleased that i have passed with flying colours.

I dont like to gloat but im happy anyway and now that its a new year i plan for a new start, i need to knuckle down and be up to date and i plan to be. I am excited about this semester and what it has to hold.

I have many ideas and have a tutorial coming up so will update on how that goes.

florals

I have took inspiration for my work off Raoul Dufy, Fiona Douglas and Gustav Klimt
here are some examples that i have used to help me. i think they are really well hand drawn and i enjoy doing my paintings myself that way.
it has helped me produce great work sheets and designs.

Inspiration

Im not very good at blogging at all.
Today i am very happy with my prints. i am very nervous about my assessment as i feel a bit stressed.
I have been visitng garden centers and looking at bedding and duvet covers for inspiration.
I have took inspriation from cath kidtson. i know she isnt an artist but i like her work of florals.
