This week we started a new project, we have to write our name in cursive on a piece of paper folded in half. After that we have to try and mirror it on the other half. Once we have a mirrored image of our name in cursive, the assignment is to apply the elements of line, shape, form, texture, and value to create a design using the shapes made from our cursive letters. So far I have Written my name, mirrored it, and am starting designing it. Starting the project it was a bit challenging to figure out how to write my name so that the whole thing is along the fold. After that part was finished and you got a basic idea of where the mirrored image should go its all about looking at it and just trying to figure out what you like.

Lately in art class we have been putting our texture, value line and shape together to recreate a black and white picture. I did an old man. I found that the hair was a challenge along with the nose and mouth. this was probably because there are not actually lines there they are just the difference in shading and value.

Texture

     Value is a way to show implied texture it shows where there might be a smoother or bumpier surface. Texture is an element of art that is how something feels or looks like it might feel. (Real or implied texture) The element of value is important when creating the illusion of texture, implied texture. Implied texture is what something looks like it would feel like, eg. in a drawing of a tree the bark isn't going to look smooth because that is not what it is, it will look rough. On the other hand real texture is what something actually feels like if you physically touch it.
