Textu r e, Juxta/ position, Collage, & color

Textu r e

Exhibit A: Actual Texture texture that can be felt: it has TACTILITY, differentiation of surface quality (dimensionality)

Exhibit B: Implied/Visual Texture Texture that is suggested through variation in material application (brush stroke, mark-making) or PATTERN on a fabric (photographs of actual texture or patterned fabrics become implied textures; you can no longer feel the difference in surface— It’s either matte or glossy!) Van Gogh-Starry Night

Implied/Visual Texture Surface is completely smooth (no brush strokes). Artists can suggest the feeling of tactility, a specific texture, for example in Kurt Kauper’s Diva painting series, the subjects appear to be wearing silk, taffeta, or fur clothing… so we get the sensation of smooth, silky, furry. Adds to sensuality of subject. Kurt Kauper-Diva Fiction #? Harry Clarke-Tales of Mystery and Imagination-from Poe

Juxta/ position

In Literature it’s called Contrast: two objects or texts that oppose each other. Implies contradiction, an oxymoron. Example sentence: “It's raining, but I am not taking an umbrella.” In visual design: placing two images or materials alongside each other & forcing them to share the same space. At first glance, they appear “random” completely unrelated / different….While longer engagement produces similarities.

Collage

French word coller = to glue. An assemblage of mixed media used on a two dimensional surface applied with glue. Materials: ribbon, paint, fabric, newspaper, scrap papers, photographs, found objects... *We’ll be creating digital collages, imitating the act of “pasting” images together in Photoshop

200 BC China: Calligraphers integrated poetry/text + image Medieval Europe: gold leafing integrated in Gothic Cathedrals 19th century: collaging became a “hobby,” the precursor for scrap-booking **Art Historians consider collages’ birth coming out of Modernism in the early 20th century** A brief Timeline…

Modern Artists: Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque Worked together on Cubism style then began incorporating surprising materials into paintings…. Fruitdish and Glass, 1912, papier collé and charcoal on paper Compotier avec fruits, violon et verre

An overview on: color

The Traditional 12pt. Color Wheel 3 Primaries: Red, Yellow, Blue

Complementary Colors: Are colors which lie directly across from each other on the color wheel.

Analogous Colors: Are neighboring/adjacent Hues

Bring next Tuesday: 1) Pick an image with COOL/WARM colors  one with little to no text. For example: A landscape from National Geographic… 2) Collect & Bring mixed 2D Material/Textures in colors found in chosen image. Example Media: scrap fabric, yarn, felt, ribbon, buttons, scrap papers, packaging etc.
