So the aim of our summer project was to make/design/ plan a kite. We could use materials of our choice and it could be any shape, size, colour etc. I decided quite early on that I didn't want my finished piece to look like a typical kite. I wanted the use of materials and the construction of my kite to reflect me and my work methods. I decided that rather concentrating on obvious patterns for my kite, such as stars and clouds, I would concentrate more on skylines and the shapes they make against the sky. During a trip to Glasgow I took photographs of cranes outside the Art College as I liked the thick lines and interesting shapes against the blue of the sky. I decided that this these photographs would form a basic pattern for my kite.
