What is TEXTURE?

State Learning Objective Key Concept - Texture: Students will learn how texture be used to enhance an artwork

Texture

State Learning Objective Key Concepts 6th Grade Art

Actual Texture: Actual Texture is texture that you can see with your eyes and you could actually feel it with your fingers. Actual texture has a surface quality that may be described as rough, smooth, bumpy, squishy, or spiky etc. In the photographs below, the moss has a soft texture, the tree bark has a rough texture, and the porcupine has a spiky texture!

Actual Texture

Animals are often defined by their actual texture, such as a fuzzy kitten. This photograph of shows the actual texture of a scaly iguana.

Renaissance artist Titian painted ‘Portrait of Man in Red Cap’ by creating a texture similar to fur… using loose brushstrokes to create a texture.

Implied Texture: Implied texture is texture that you can see but not feel. Objects and artworks with implied texture look like they might have the tactile surface quality that you can observe with your eyes, but when you actually touch the surface, it is not textural at all, or has a different texture than it appears to have.

Implied Texture

This butterfly seems like it might have a rough texture, but if you were to touch its wings, they would probably be quite smooth.

The seashells also look like they might have a ridged texture, but if you were to really touch them, they would probably be smoother than you would expect.

Cataract 3, Bridget Riley, 1967.

Implied texture is created by the lines repeating.

The actual texture of this painting is smooth, despite the variety of actual textures of the actual parts of the diner he was painting. Ralph's Diner, Ralph Goings, 1982.

Actual TextureThe feeling of the texture in surfaces around the room

Implied TextureThe texture looks as if you can feel it but its not really there!

REVIEW!

State Learning Objective Key Concept 6th Grade:

CroppingDEFINITION: Cropping is used in art to remove extra parts of an image; frequently used in life drawing/painting and Photography

Why do Artists CROP their artwork?

**Crop to add action or interestCreative or unusual cropping adds interest to ordinary images. Showing just a portion of the main subject creates mystery. Breaking part of the picture out of the box (such as removing all or part of the background) can give

movement to a stationery image.

Why do artists, like painters and photographers, and graphic/computer artists crop images?

**Crop the background.

Remove busy or unnecessary background

clutter that draws attention away from the

main subject.

**Crop to show what's important.Change the focus of the photograph or emphasize specific portions of an image by cropping out less important or less desirable people or objects.

Crop to change the orientation.Go from a square or horizontal picture to vertical image by cropping out the top or bottom or sides. Changing the shape can change the focus of the photograph,

create impact, and make a photo better fit the layout.

Crop to create uniform images.Bring order and uniformity to a collection of images in varied sizes by cropping them so that each retains the same overall look, size,

and orientation. Use a combination of cropping and resizing to create better mug shots.

During a drawing lesson in art class, the art teacher would set up a “still life” of lets say 10 objects. You would probably be expected to draw 3-5 objects…so you would CROP what you see from your seat and draw that.

Cropping Exercise: 1. Divide your paper by folding to create four

equal boxes. In these boxes you will draw your composition.

2. Draw a more interesting version of each of these images below by zooming and cropping.

3. When you are done with each drawing draw an arrow to show the light source.

Color Theory

When you read the Color Wheel, what do you find out?

Warm Colors

Cool Colors

Primary Colors:

Secondary Colors: Red/Magenta Yellow Blue/ Cyan

Orange Green Purple/violet

The three main colors on the color wheel. These colors can not be made by mixing other colors together.

The three colors produced when two primary colors are mixed.

Yellow, orange, and red are called warm colors.

Appear hot like the sun or like fireGive feelings of gaiety, activity or cheerfulnessAppear to advance-they make body look largerCan give a nervous impression if overdone

Blue, green, and purple are often labeled cool

Emotional Qualities of Color

http://www.mariaclaudiacortes.com/

Definition: (noun) - contrast refers to the arrangement of opposite elements of design in a piece of art so as to create visual interest, excitement and drama.Straight vs. wavy line , light vs. dark colors, rough vs. smooth textures, large vs. small shapes, etc.)

The colors white and black provide the greatest degree of contrast. Complementary colors also highly contrast with one another.

An artist can employ contrast as a tool, to direct the viewer's attention to a particular point of interest within the piece.

CONTRAST

Always use the Art Elements to describe how it’s used in a PRINT of an artwork: a) Lines. Are they straight, curved, swirling, jagged, diagonal, vertical, horizontal, continuous, broken, heavy, thin, dark, light? Do they occur at edges where color, value or texture changes suddenly? Are there lines that direct your attention from one place to another? b) Colors. Are they warm, cook, bright, dull, opaque, and transparent? Are they like colors you see in the real world, or different from real world colors? Is there a dominant color? Are there related colors? c) Values. Are the colors dark? Light? Both? Are there strong contrasts of dark/light? Are there soft contrasts of dark/Light?

d) Shapes. Are shapes realistic, unrealistic, or not representational? Do shapes appear flat or do they appear to have depth (roundness)? Are they geometric (squares, triangles, circles)? Are they organic (curved and irregular edges)? e) Textures. Are they visible in the artwork? Where? Don’t confuse texture with patterns like checkerboard, stripes, and polka dots. f) Contrast – light vs. dark, big vs. small, fat vs. skinny, etc. DIFFERENCES g) Movement. If movement is suggested in the work, is it due to: alternating shapes; figures and other life forms doing something; repetition of one thing after another;

How to draw with basic shapesJust by using a few simple shapes you can learn to draw literally anything you want to!

Every object you look at around you - a house, animal, a face, boat, mountain, tree and so on can easily be constructed by using one or a combination of just five BASIC shapes. All you need is a square, circle, triangle, oblong and oval - just like these!

PRACTICE and REVIEWLet’s look at this dog and draw it to look as much like this drawing as possible!

Draw Me!

Dog Drawing Tutorial Step 1: Rough in the shape of object with SIMPLE SHAPES

Start be drawing a rectangular shape for dog's head and a circle for his upper body and shoulders.

Dog Drawing Tutorial Step 1: Rough in the shape of object with SIMPLE SHAPES

Connect the head shape to the upper body with some gentle curves. Add a circle to place the hips.

Dog Drawing Tutorial Step 1: Rough in the shape of object with SIMPLE SHAPES

Now here is where it really starts looking like a dog. Add some triangle shapes for the ears and nose. Give your dog drawing a tail.

Dog Drawing Tutorial Step 2: Define outline and detailsFollow the drawing carefully to draw dog paws and legs. A dog's back legs bend differently than the front legs. To draw a cute dog give a big smile with his tongue hanging out. If you want a mean dog make him frown or show some teeth. Draw a hump for your dogs eye and another hump for the brow ridge.

Dog Drawing Tutorial Step 2: Define outline and details Outline your sketch and erase the shapes you used to establish your “skeleton”. refine your the edges of your dog drawing as you clean it up. While you are at it, go ahead and give your dog a collar and a dog tag.

Dog Drawing Tutorial Step 3: Adding value , color and/or life-like detailsUsing a marker or pencil, darken in the dogs nose, eye, and areas of shadow. You can add some spots to your dog if you wish.
