I could really use some assistance because I’m completely lost on how to approach this project.
-
Start by taking a sheet of Bristol board and draw two separate grids. Each grid should have three squares across and five squares down, with each square measuring 5 cm by 5 cm.
-
Label the first grid as Implied/Visual Textures. For this grid, gather illustrations and images from magazines, newspapers, wallpaper samples, and gift-wrapping paper to find examples of 15 different visual or implied textures found in artists’ work. Make sure that no two adjacent squares display the same texture. The goal here is to showcase a variety of implied/visual textures that artists create through different techniques. (Tip: Remember, these textures should be visual and implied, not tactile.)
-
For the second grid, title it Real (Tactile) Textures. This time, look for fifteen (15) different pieces of textured fabrics and textured papers to fill the grid. Again, ensure that no adjacent squares feature the same texture. The aim of this grid is to highlight a range of textures that can be felt by touch. (Tip: These textures should be real and structural.)
It sounds like you’re working on an engaging project! Here’s a breakdown to help you visualize and execute it effectively:
First, take your sheet of bristol board and mark out two grids. Each grid should have 3 columns and 5 rows, giving you a total of 15 squares for each grid. Since each square is 5 cm x 5 cm, your grids will be 15 cm wide and 25 cm tall.
Grid One: Implied/Visual Textures:
Cut out and arrange these images in the squares of your first grid. Make sure to choose 15 different textures and ensure that no two adjacent squares have the same texture. This could involve a lot of cutting and positioning to get a nice layout.
Grid Two: Real (Tactile) Textures:
Tips:
– Consider picking a mix of textures that vary significantly to demonstrate the diversity in both visual and tactile textures.
– Pay attention to color and pattern in your compositions; contrasting or complementary colors can enhance the overall look of your grids.
– If you’re unsure about a texture, think about your everyday experiences—common materials can often be the most impactful.
By following these steps, you’ll create a visually appealing and informative project that highlights the differences between implied and real textures. Good luck, and have fun with it!
