Module 5 - Chapter 3 - Texture and Relief in Paper

Looking closely at photographs and images of textures and relief surfaces, I manipulated papers to translate the observed textures.

Using scrunched up newsprint I created the texture observed from leaves on the woodland floor.

50302

50302a

Using scrunched tissue paper and spaces for the branches I created the canopy texture.

50303

50303a

Using twisted strips and newsprint I created the texture shown by silver birch saplings.

50304

50304a

Using folded watercolour paper laid over scrunched crepe paper I created the texture of silver birch bark.

50305

50305a

Using folded crepe paper and circles cut from watercolour paper I created the texture of the bark of a pine tree.

50306a

With machine gathered, and twisted tissue paper, I created the texture observed from the pine tree coppice.

As these textures are to be used as rubbings later in the module, I mounded them all on a sturdy base of foamboard. Each 'block' is A5 in size.
