Exploring with Texture

First we created textures using stippling and cross-hatching.

After, we used white paper to create tactile textures.

Lastly, we had to create a project that showed tactile and visual texture. So I created a pyramid structure with holes cut out for texture.

Textured Value Scale

In this part of the project, we had to make a value scale using stippling and cross-hatching to show texture.

The Museum of Natural Sciences

This floor design in the lobby of the museum is an example of a pattern.

The skeletons on these ancient turtles show figure and ground because of the negative space in between the creatures' bones.

The railing of this planter box in the butterfly room shows implied line because they are broken and not connected like a regular line.

The triangles in this wall painting is an example of a motif.

The shape of the fur on this stuffed yak is an example of an amorphous shape because it's hard to distinguish the fur from the body and therefore, makes it less recongizable.

The glass wall surrounding the butterfly room shows curvilinear shape.

The skull of this horned animal shows symmetry.

And lastly, this skull of a prehistoric animal is an example of approximate-symmetry.

In the first project, we used cut paper to create a notan square.

Next we selected a portion of the notan square design to create a black and white acrylic painting.

Lastly, we glued one inch laser cut squares to a ten inch square.

I was inspired by the shapes that can be seen in Victorian style wallpaper. I brought out this inspiration by incorporating curvy, flower-like shapes into the first part of this project.
