Texture Painting

Arts 161-Painting

Quick (1 Session) Texture Abstraction

Make sure you understand the difference between texture and pattern. In this assignment, make an abstract (non-objective) painting of at least two textures, painted from observation, not memory. This does not mean your painting surface is necessarily bumpy—it may be smooth, but look bumpy!

There should be no recognizable objects in the painting! You may paint more than two different textures and if you want to add some patterned areas, go ahead, as long as you have two textures as well.

Rubric—12 points possible:

4-My painting has two or more textures.

4-My painting is abstract (non-objective).

4-My textures are convincing and detailed.

3-My textures are somewhat convincing and detailed.

2-I need to work on one of my textures a bit more.

1-My textures are not at all convincing.
