Visual Texture pages :
To begin this activity you must have completed the in-class observation drawing assignment sketching at least three overlapping visual textures. Complete a reference section in your sketchbook that illustrates Visual Texture and some common uses. Follow the basic step-by-step directions below to add the "Visual Texture " section to your sketchbook
Mounting the Texture Sketches into your sketchbook:
(Always save a space at the top or along the side for a page title.)
- Open your sketchbook to the next blank page.
- If necessary, paint or prepare the page for new information.
- Carefully tear or creatively cut out your 2 best examples of overlapping texture limiting the amount of negative space in each sketch (crop the drawings).
- Creatively arrange your examples on the page you intend to mount them allowing some room for a caption next to each one (see expectations below).
- Glue in the examples making sure the samples are well glued down so that they do not become dislodged from the repeated turning of pages.
Authoring the Visual Texture Page
- Label the pages of your sketchbook at the top or along the side neatly with the title, “Visual Texture.”
- Using colored pencils, gel pens, or felt-tipped pens, point to and describe the three different textures in each drawing. Ex.- “1.- Soft, rounded leaves.”
- On each page in full, complete sentences, and in a visually creative way, answer the following questions correctly:
- What do you think this sketch technique will work best for?
- How long did it take you to do the drawings on this page?
- As you've completed this page in Advanced Drawing and Painting, compare and contrast this addition and process with the former. Be sure to use specific references and cite the pages they may be found in your sketchbook.
Include two additional “facts” about these drawings (ex.: where they were drawn, what time of day it was, date, etc.)
The Learning Goals:
(This is what the addition will be graded on at the end)
- Completion- Follow all of the directions and ensure the project is complete with titles, sub headings, all visual and written information.
- Density- Pages should be PACKED with information. So much so that a person should not be able to place a quarter on the page without it touching either written or visual information.
- Design- Carefully plan out your pages and specifically place items like titles, subheadings, pictures, and written information.
