Content
6 OCN units covering production of mood boards, colour
wheels, decorative paint effects, stencilling, lighting etc, hand-made
paper and batik.
Students will be requested to produce mood boards
for a chosen project possibly a room in their house. They will collect
colour samples, fabric samples, magazine images etc. to produce a
co-ordinated mood board. Various paint effects will be experimented with
e.g. woodgraining, crackle glaze etc. These can be applied to picture
frames etc. As the course progresses the skills learnt by the student will
be used to produce decorative items for the room e.g. cushions, framed
handmade paper, all designed to co-ordinate with the colours on the mood
board. Students will also examine different ways of lighting the room,
showing use of genral ambient and task lighting.
