Textured Shoe - Project 3
Assignment
Texture is this really amazing thing. It can pull you in, repel you or make you very emotional. It can really “rub” you the right or wrong way. Texture CAN be created by using shapes and strong forms, but it can also be created by rendering lines and overlapping color and value. It is important to consider how texture can wrap a form in three-dimensional space. You will draw a shoe from direct observation, but you will also add textures to your shoe by recreating textures made physically by rubbing over rough three-dimensional surfaces.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of the project a successful student will be able to:
- Demonstrate the ability to draw through direct observation (i.e. represent the basic architecture and modeling of the shoe)
- Demonstrate the ability to modify the texture of an object using external visual references (i.e. rubbed texture swatches)
- Demonstrate the ability to apply color theory principles to a designed object
- Change (redesign) the look of an existing object by adding or changing textures and colors.
Process
1. Create examples of 25 unique textures by placing paper over them and rubbing with colored pencil.
2. Draw your shoe. Carefully consider the language of design (elements and principles) including cropping touching, overlapping and intersecting of forms, negative and positive space relationships, composition, texture, scale, and space to compose your drawing.
3. Use at least 3 of the rubbings you created as the basis for the DRAWN textures you’ll use to shade the shoe. Remember that as texture moves over an organic surface it changes orientation, modeling, and scale.
