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?
- Include two additional “facts” about these drawings (ex.: where they were drawn, what time of day it was, date, etc.)
