form & surface tile design patterns & textures from nature Christopher Gryder

form surface asymmetry pattern

form surface asymmetry pattern

form surface asymmetry pattern focal point

When does pattern become texture ?

form surface

asymmetry through focal point subtractive texture

additive texture subtractive texture

the arrangement create multiple individual tile designs –at least 7 tiles develop an overall design

horizontal vertical alignment

consider each tile consider overall composition

consider how many tiles consider how each tile will fit into arrangement

form and surface form square? rectangular? triangular? surface pattern? texture?

form and surface

Directions for preliminary sketch 1.Choose imagery from nature 2.Change: abstract imagery by: –simplifying, exaggerating, minimizing 3.Surface: Develop patterns & textures 4.Consider how you will use asymmetry 5.Sketch ideas for at least 7 tile designs 6.Form: Develop an overall composition
