In this assignment, we began by gathering four visual textures to create four 6"x6" studies that utilize multiple mediums and techniques to explore different modes of representations, mark, and surface.
Realism: Rendered to mimic visual texture
For this study, I used mark making to create a realistic visual texture. I painted the surface of the Bristol paper to create the illusion of visual texture, including a 7-8 step value range.
Non-Objective: to establish a graphic pattern
For the second study, I transformed the visual texture into a shape based, non-objective graphic pattern, using a 4-5 step value range.
Abstraction: Using materials to create textured surface
The third study applied found materials to the surface to establish an abstract texture with a 4-5 step value range. I used a mix of acrylic paint and matte medium, wax from a scented candle, and table salt to maintain a relationship with the original source image while moving toward an abstract state.
Abstraction to Non-Objection, using mixed media to create a layered surface
In the fourth study, using tea-stained pages of a book, india ink, and Sobo glue, I created a complex, abstract surface via layering, pushing to a non-objective state.
