Ideas for the Wallpaper Project

I started to think about my ideas for the project and really liked the idea of producing a set of images based on the four primal elements of fire, water, earth and air. So I searched google for some inspiration for my panels and came up with two images that I used to sketch the earth and water panels.

This is the image for the earth panel I used for inspiration. I really liked the pattern the cracks in the dried mud made and copied it to my sketches.

This is the image the inspired my water panel. I liked the way the water look at the surface from underneath and how the bubbles got flatter the closer to the surface they got. I also liked the gradient of the plain space.

For air I looked out the window at the mainly clear sky and notice the gradient and put that in the panel. I also added clouds as the panel was looking quite plain.

For the fire panel I drew from experience and drew a fire along the bottom of the panel made up almost entirely out of squiggly lines.

These are my sketches laid out in the way they would be if placed on the doors the wallpapers were being made for. I presented these to the class as part of my assignment on Tuesday which i will talk about in my next post.
