P_08 Texture Touch
Master Study / Visual Texture:
Objective: To create an interpretation of a
painting/work of art from using visual textures, materials and cut paper. Students will research and select a famous and recognizable work of art appropriate for this exercise. You will also need to write a short paragraph about the artist and bring in a print-out of the artist's work to tell the class about the artist and the artwork when presenting your final design to the class.
No drawing or painting directly on finished piece is allowed. You may draw or
paint on paper, but it must be cut-out and used as a modular element. You may
also use fabric and other flat surfaces that have texture. However, nothing
standing more than 1 inch off the page will be considered 2D, and you will have great difficulty in keeping integrity of the piece (meaning: it might fall apart). You may also print out images of textures via computer to use as modular elements. Examples might include: woodgrain, concrete, chipping paint, stained glass, and on and on and on. Here is a link to copyright images which you might look at for inspiration, but you will probably want to do research online to find quality images for your own design.

Materials:
- Textural rubbings on paper and
other forms of visual textures on paper.
(magazines, newspaper, fabric, etc.)
- Relatively flat artifacts like
string, buttons, coins, fur, leaves, corrugated cardboard, etc.
- X-Acto knife
- Reproduction/copy of the work
of art you are using
- Rubber cement
- Bristol ground sheet
Procedure:
- Make a list of free and cheap things that have texture that we can use for this project.
- Make a list of free and cheap things that have texture that we can use for this project.
- Find a reproduction of a
master painting. Make a COLOR copy for reference.
- Start with a ground sheet that
approximates the proportions of the master painting. (as close to 12x18” as
possible)
- Using textural rubbings you do
yourself and other visual textures, (computer image textures, xerox images,
fabric, etc.) cut or tear shapes that recreate the image in your master composition.
- It is also important that the
image be somewhat recognizable and "correct" in important details.
- Be careful with placement of
your shapes and pay attention to the edges of the picture plane.
- There are no color limitations
for this piece but be very conscious of how to limit/edit yourself.
- Think about activating
negative space, arranging space on the plane.
- The image should be appox.
12x18". (in proportion to original scale)
- Use at least some "implied" and some "actual" textures in your designs and a minimum of four textures.
- Use at least some "implied" and some "actual" textures in your designs and a minimum of four textures.
- REMEMBER: YOU MUST bring reference
material for critIque and be ready to talk about the original work. (copy of original) with the title of the piece.
