UNIT 2: IMPLIED AND REAL TEXTURES

MAKING ART WITH VISUAL (IMPLIED) AND TACTILE (REAL) TEXTURES

REAL TEXTURES: MATERIC ART

IMPLIED TEXTURES: ZENTANGLE ART 

UNIT 2: ART VISUAL ELEMENTS "TEXTURE"

Texture

Remember that the visual elements of an image are: POINT, LINE, SHAPE, FORM (SPACE), VALUE, COLOUR AND TEXTURE.

During this term we have seen three of these visual elements: Point, Line and Shape. The next visuals elements to see are TEXTURE, COLOUR, VALUE and FORM (SPACE)

TEXTURE is a powerful art element because it can quickly evoke memories and emotions. Start becoming more aware of textures all around you—the carpet, in the clothes you’re wearing, and the fur on your cat.  Let's see these presentations and video to get a better idea of this concept:

HOW TO DRAW IMPLIED (VISUAL) TEXTURES

UNIT 6: THE COLOUR WHEEL, ACTIVITIES AND IDEAS.

COLOUR WHEEL WITH COLOUR PENCILS

Draw a 6 cm radius circumference and divide it in 12 equal parts, then colour the primary, secondary and tertiary colours (in this order) using only the three primary colour pencils. Write the names of the colours and divide it in two parts, indicating warm and cool colour schemes.

 

INTERACTIVE COLOUR ACTIVITIES AND IDEAS

• Color Shecheme Designer: working with warm and colod colors, opposite ones... and colorblind.

• Color Palette Generator. Enter the URL of an image to get a color palette that matches the image. This is useful for coming up with a website color palette that matches a key image a client wants to work with.

• Color Hunter. A similar one.

• Colour Method. A fantastic game to help you understand the colour wheel. It is created for Method of Action, which is a collection of tools, games and articles to help you learn design. 

UNIT 6: ELEMENTS OF ART "COLOUR"

Now let's explore together one of the most important elements of design: THE LINE. 

Visual Elements: LINE from Rosa Fernández

EXAMPLE OF A SELF EVALUATION 

AND DESCRIPTION OF YOUR WORK OF ART

"Hi teacher,  

This is the description of my work and my evaluation. I am being very honest: 

At the start I had no idea what to do, then I checked some more drawings online, and I decided to do something similar to the Urban Artist Suso33 that you showed us in class. I am happy with the result. I think I have done a good job, because I investigated about it and It took time. I also have a good presentation (clean and tidy) a good composition (distribution of the elements of the drawing in the space of the paper), and I follow the instructions (a drawing of portrait with lines) finally I enjoyed it doing it. I think my work does not deserve less than a 9. 

Here is the video and work by Suso33 that I used as inspiration."
