Texture Project

Texture Project: Part 3

          From my point of view, this is a very varied composition of textures. I did not spend as much time organizing the composition as I did in the photoshop portion of the project, but I still spent a significant amount of time aligning and repositioning the different pieces of this textural composition. I spent a lot of time using different tools to create the proper textures in my work. A ball-hammer was used to create the unique, still-shining texture of the green circle. I also used several types of screwdrivers and hammers to make patterns with screws and nails. I continued to make modifications and adjustments to my work up until it was time to take a photograph. My final print and relief sculpture are extremely unified, with the only difference being the green metal circle instead on the random shape. I was very involved during the reflective and evaluative discussions about my work and the work of others. I felt that I was very thoroughly able to communicate aesthetic ideas, something I am comfortable doing. It is well-balanced, which was one of my project goals.

Final Markup

Texture Grid:

          I feel that my collection of textures is quite varied, ranging from industrial patterns to natural textures. In this collection, I chose to balance the rubbing in the corners and the photographs in the middle. A careful eye will also notice that the lighter colored textures form an "X" in the collection's composition. In my final composition, I made several design changes and re-arrangements, including a a drastic decision to crop the composition down to a much smaller size in order to capture the striking detail of the texture collection.
