Bags

We have just recently finished our project of bags. To make this we first sketched out the shape of our bag onto a piece of paper. Then we got a small square and folded it in half and then half again forming a smaller square. On the small square tile, I put random lines and curves onto it. I opened it so that it becomes a rectangle and the design onto that side I did this on the other side too. It is like making a small square in my other project: Tessellation. I then placed the small square onto the belly of my bag and traced it. You can easily see which parts are my design. During this process, I learned how to draw a backpack. In this project, I used repetition this in using the same tile square over and over again.

This project reminds me of Batiks (Batik's are these indonesian traditional clothing) because they have intricate designs on them and the design has been repeated many times. If I were to do this project differently, I would have used different colors in the tessellation (the design). I took away using tessellations in everyday objects, like, in this case a bag.

I felt great doing this project maybe because my sketch of the bag was so good. I further developed my ideas from outlining my tessellation to not outlining my tessellation. I was quite satisfied in this because the final result was quite good.
