Twinky

Today's scribble drawing. Ive named him Twinky coz he is a twin. Hes had a lot of vitamin D by the looks of things. During my interior design studies we have been taught design thinking and ideation which have been on par with the 6 months of colour studies in regard to value adding to my view of the world. 8 weeks ago we had a carpet designer and marketer come and present their product to the class and that is when I first heard the term Art Based Creativity. The designer, James, is doing a masters on it. I couldn't rest until I found out what it means and basically it means you start design from your unconscious mind and sketch and play regularly in your sketch book. He explained that these days people are copying other peoples designs and using them as their own and sometimes these things end up in court. So its your sketchbook along with your design thinking and ideation documentation that will save you if that should ever happen. I also see it as a great way to add meaning and storytelling as a maker.

Now that I'm on the homeward run for my studies, I'm going to do more scribble drawings and sketching in the lead up to my up coming projects. I have no idea why Twinky actually appeared today, but for now, I'm thinking its me looking at where I am now and then looking to the future. This course has exceeded my expectations. I'm blessed.
