Texture

Part 1

Make a non-objective collage consisting of a printing, a rubbing, and a drawing of texture.

Printing: Use a found object with an actual texture, paint black gouache on to the raised areas and press your paper against it.

Rubbing: Using a different found object, place your paper atop the textured area and rub it with black chalk or crayon. Your paper will then have a visual texture, and possibly an actual texture.

Drawing: Investigate a third found object's texture. In marker, graphically represent it.

Notes: Values will come from the variations of visual texture. Contrast is assured by the use of three different papers and media. Surface can be enhanced by crinkling or otherwise giving your printed or drawn textures an actual texture. Create an area of emphasis. Manipulate the edges of your composition (drawn format) while keeping it away from the edges of the paper. Elmer's glue might be better for this assignment.

Part 2

Make a representational image using visual textures.

For each physically different texture of your subject matter, create a unique visual representation of it in your drawing. Try for a calculated distribution (across the picture plane) of the values created by your textures.

Media: If you find that your marker's bleed, get a pad of marker paper from Reavers, and mount the paper on to a slice of biology paper for inclusion in your notebook. If you are going to use pen and ink, make each line precise.
