Project Launch

     During the project launch for Unit X – Rebel Tartan, my group and I began to discuss how we wanted to link our work to the Blue Heart Tartan and the areas of human trafficking that we wanted to explore. We came to the conclusion to focus on two areas: a charity called ‘Stella’s Voice’ and an incident 4 years ago where 276 Nigerian school girls were kidnapped. Through both areas we can explore the negative implications that human trafficking has on the lives of innocent children, but also how they can be saved from such devastating people.

 

                We began, by focusing on the starting points we had, to create a colour palette. This was vital for me as a weaver so I was glad we could decide as a group which palette worked for us. By pulling colours from the Stella’s Voice website, this gave us a base for a colour palette which may change as we move forward. We thought that the palette might be a little too dull but won’t be sure until we begin to work with it. Our next step is to gather as much research as possible to share as a group at our next meeting.
