In response to this week theme of “force”, I had a specific set of rules as project guideline, which are 1. don’t use line to draw, 2. drawing in a circle and 3. using only one brush.

Based on these rules, I created 12 patterns. I tried to free draw each pattern and enjoyed the process as I haven’t done free drawing for a while. I also tried rotating the canvas while I was drawing so I could remind myself creating the work around the circle, instead of from a single angle / direction.

My work this week is inspired by the Finland brand, Marimekko. https://youtu.be/Mar5fJMMc8A One of the design rules for Marmimekko is to bring colors into the long ,dark and cold days in Finland. For my project, I tried to create simple and doodle like patterns. Free hand drawing adds a sense of “handcraft” or “human” to the pattern style.
