Materials
- Quality color photo of a fine art painting, museum artists only
- Value scanner
- Glue stick for mounting
- Sketchbook
- One sheet 14 x 17 inch Bristol board
- One sheet (16 x 20 inch) Canson Presentation Board, pearl color (greyish tan)
- Cut mounting board to 16 x 19 inch for even margins.
- Non-photo blue pencil
- Ruler
- Masking Tape
- All required colors and paint supplies – you will set up a full palette for the project
Sketchbook
- You must complete the preliminary studies in the sketchbook pages sketchbook before beginning your final project.
- Glue your selected fine art color sample at the top of the page. Write information under the image: Artist, title, medium.
- Choose nine main colors from your color sample source that have wide value range, 1 or 2 through 10 or 11.
- Paint nine small color swatches of your selected colors directly under your painting source if painting is horizontal, or to the side if painting is vertical.
- Draw a rectangle directly under the swatches and paint a proportional color inventory of your painting source, as on page 113, figs 8.5 & 8.6. (Color: A workshop for artists and designers, Hornung, 2012)
- Your design must use the same proportion and values of chosen colors as in the fine art source.
- Research intricate textile designs – see samples in our Canvas course and research additional images on your own. You will get extra credit for gluing photos of your own textile research in your sketchbook.
- Sketch at least nine different shapes that might be part of your final design on a separate page.
- Write notes about the type of textile you are creating. Is it for children, adults, home furnishings, personal wear, or other uses?
- Draw two thumbnail sketch proposals for your complex textile design, which must include a variety of shapes and repetitions of the shapes. Parts of the design may go off the format edges, as in viewed complex textile samples on Canvas.
Guidelines
- The focus is on professional craftsmanship, color matching, and creative textile design.
- This is an in-class only project – no take-home unless specified!
- Tape a clean, even ¼ inch margin on all four sides. This must stay clean for mounting.
- Your textile design must contain nine colors in the same proportion and value as the fine art source.
- The design must be intricate and complex, using a variety of shapes, values and techniques to create a repetitive motif.
- Painting must be clean, no paper showing.
- Shapes may refer to subject matter of your choice or may be completely abstract.
- Your design may be for any type of textile, pillows, couches, rugs, pajamas, clothing of all types.
- You may choose your own style and approach to the project.
- Dry artwork completely before mounting on your 16 x 19 inch presentation board. Glue securely, no lifting edges. This requires a lot of glue stick! Press glue stick firmly around backside edges, then make several X’s in the center that extend to the edges. Align on mounting board and press firmly with a clean sheet of paper, rubbing your hand on the surface to burnish the image firmly to the mounting board.
