AS91627 - Texture and Pattern - Prep for students

Planning for AS91627 - Producing texture and patterns from their observational drawings.
Part 1 of looking at the design elements to develop their work in a more abstract way.

Learning Outcomes

• Look at their drawn work in different ways.
• Learn how to use a wider variety of media to create their work and rely less on the standard use of drawing pencil and coloured pencil.
• Create textures and patterns that are relevant to their starting point observational drawings.

Materials and Equipment

Drawing pencils - only to be used in a support role, not as the main media for the work
Black gel pens
Laminated clear sheets (A4)
EVA foam sheets
Press print sheets
Scissors
Printing inks - various colours
Oil pastels
Soft pastels.
Paper and card - various colours, textures and weights
Pattern / template sheets / sequin waste sheets

Observational drawings in pencil and various media.
Look at these drawings as a base to find shapes / patterns and textures to use.




Methods used :-

• Rubbings on brown paper with 2 colours of oil pastel used on top of each other.
• Press print cut into shapes chosen from the observational drawings, pattern pressed into the surface, used to print repeat patterns with the printing ink.
• Template of poppy seed shape cut out of card - used to draw round and then black gel pen used to draw patterns within the shape.
• Soft pastel rubbed through the sequin waste to create dot pattern within the card template shape.
• EVA foam sheet cut to shape using the same card template. Scored in to the surface and used to print with printing ink.
• Cut the same EVA foam piece more and reprint with it in a different colour.
• Use gel pen and plastic laminate sheet to trace small pieces from observational drawings - press these onto the sheet. Do multiple times to create pattern with small drawn elements used as print.
