CTE 3201 Exam 3 Study Guide Chapter 9 Pattern Texture Pattern an underlying structure that organizes surfaces or structures in a consistent regular manner can be described as a repeating unit of shape or form repetition of a visual element in a regular or anticipated sequence Aspects of pattern 1 Source there are four sources for motif Natural very pleasing relatable found in nature interesting proportions color Floral is the 1 print in apparel Man made de nite limited use within apparel evoke speci c memories de nite associations Imagination often comes from a geometric form lines and shapes that are not representational of actual objects Symbolism representation of something other than an object and idea and organization logos ags can sometimes be negative 2 Interpretation how the source is presented four ways to interpret pattern Naturalistic objects appear as they actually are realistically appear in nature ex cartoon Stylized natural or man made objects that have been distorted in some way shape proportion color object is still recognizable you can identify motif or source more artistic interesting Abstract representational source is imagination not realistic color and lines express ideas emotions without creating realistic image Geometric stem from imagination portrays no objects line shape ex stripes plaid chevron 3 Arrangement six arrangements All over arrangements give the same effect from any angle does not matter which way you look at it have balance and harmony repeats itself eye moves automatically from motif to motif Four way give same effect from four directions any perspective they appear the same 90 degree turns Two way same effect when turned 180 degrees ex stripes One way print that only works in one direction realistic presentations unbalanced plaids Border motifs placed along the edge Spaced self contained compositions A repeat is the distance from where a pattern begins and where is begins again Pattern Quality the effectiveness of a pattern depends on individual motifs and their relationship to each other Degree of detail more detail is more elegant more re ned less detail is more casual or louder Key to good patterns Interesting motif shapes and proportions may exist or may be created thru stylizing or patterns have at least one color in common or the same pattern in different color Interaction between motifs The more similar motifs are the more they seem to belong together to each other and abstraction schemes to the whole Pattern Fashion Pattern attracts the eye can be on a product s surface more complex can be broken down into its own line shape and space Motif s design arises from a source that is classi ed in one of the four categories 1 Natural object 2 Man made objects 3 Imagination 4 Symbolism 1 Natural Objects Flowers Leaves Snow akes Animal prints Natural forms lend themselves easily to patterns 2 Man made those that are familiar as a result of experience conversational Teapots Lipsticks Beach balls Mens ties Children s clothes 3 Imagination represent a cross sensory interpretation originate from geometric forms dots plaids very identi able 4 Symbolism motif s that represent a non concrete idea Political movement Religion Organization ex logos ags Stylized motif the motif remains recognizable but it is Simpli ed Flattened Distorted Changed in color Realistic presentation the motifs have their true colors highlights and shadows Floral patterns Flowers vary in their scale or complexity from mini or lingerie prints to chintz a polished or glazed cotton In Botanical patterns the plants owers and herbs are organized within Number 1 pattern used Conversational patterns Tell a story or communicate a message Man made objects or symbols or feature a cultural element Traditional patterns Traditional designs have been treated the same way over many years Classic textiles Foulards patterns with tiny geometric motifs that repeat in a set layout in format of a grid Paisley Calico Liberty prints Ditzy tiny print can t always make out motifs Documentary designs Batik Ikat more prevalent in home decor Toile usually on linen cloth or canvas french origin Art Deco Camou age Liberty of London Patterns in fabric Variations in the weaving process cause different numbers of weft and warp yarns to oat over each other at differing distances creating damask jacquard brocade Patterns applied to fabric surface using Direct printing Discharge printing Resist methods Stencil Screen printing Rotary screen printing Tie dyeing Warp printing Decorative applications that generate pattern by threads or yarns running through the surface Embroidery Eyelet Trapunto or Quilting Patchwork Patterning the grid de nes the organization of pattern regular intersection of vertical horizontal lines De ning force in Architecture Graphic design Art Pop Art artist Andy Warhol set up his images using the grip as a road map Types of layouts Random layout Allover layout Stripe layout Plaid layout Border print Engineered design Pattern layout pattern determined by its layout Pattern is in uenced by the change of trends in the fashion industry season also in uences it Companies may feature patterns that are designed as collections or coordinates Texture an element de ned by two aspects visual tactile qualities of a surface something we want to touch Areas of light and dark shadow and glossiness are what let us know that there is texture 3 senses involves with texture Sight Touch Sound When we cannot touch a surface to feel it our sight becomes a substitute for the sense of touch Every surface has texture contributes to the aesthetic Implied or visual texture is that which we can see due to various visual design techniques but cannot be physically felt Four determinants of Texture 1 Micro Basic Fiber Content chemical composition of basic element determines performance feel 2 Composite Yarn Structure How are elements put together Different spinning techniques different weights contribute to the texture nal product 3 Macro Fabric Structure How are the yarns put together Woven Knitted Felted Tight weave Loose weave Are the yarns blended 4 Finishes
