TEXTURE: Actual, Simulated and Invented

Image
Gianna Davy Last Friday the class made an image consisting of actual, simulated and invented textures. The objective was to explore traditional and experimental applications of painting and collage materials. Gianna's painting above illustrates torn pieces of paper glued and painted in the upper left corner, drawing into wet paint (center, right, top), stamping with plant forms (center, right, bottom), stenciling with tape in the lower left and various applications of paint from thick to thin just to name a few.

LINE DYNAMICS

Ayda Uraz Kacie Brunk Today students made drawings exploring the various methods of creating the illusion of depth within their compositions using line and mark-making techniques in ink. The Distal Ques are explained in the menu above. Ayda's drawing above very skillfully  illustrates atmospheric perspective . Notice how the line quality and size of the objects diminishes as the image recedes into space. Kacie has employed line weight variation, overlap, value and gradations as well as size change to suggest a deep sense of space. Mushky Rice After completing two quarter sheet compositions, students changed the format to a half sheet with the same objective of creating a deep sense of space.  With her use of dark values to recede, overlapping shapes and variable line quality, Mushky has effectively addressed the objective of the project while adding a psychological twist with the subtle distortions applied to the shapes and lines.

VALUE: Two-dimensional Space

Cody Wilson Last Friday the class began addressing Value and Space. The painting above is an example of two-dimensional space. In 2-d space the pictorial depth is limited. Attention is place on the surface of the picture plane rather than creating the illusion of depth. Although unfinished, Cody's painting has addressed the four values of the project and established a rhythm between them. Notice how your eyes are lead from one shape of a particular value to the next. Remember that we look for similarity within shapes, values, colors, textures, etc.
