CTE3201 TEST 3 CHAPTER 9 PATTERN underlying structure that organizes surfaces or structures in a consistent or regular manner pattern descried as a repeating unit of shape or form repetition of a visual element in a regular and or anticipated sequence or pattern Aspects of pattern 1 SOURCE four major sources 1 natural by nature interesting proportions and color flowers leaves waves snowflakes animal print seashell 2 man made evoke specific memories definite associations limited use within apparel industry 3 imagination lines shapes which not representational of actual objects includes lines circles shapes 4 symbolism represent of something other than an object ex an idea organization logos and flags 2 INTERPRETATION how the source is presented or interpreted by the artist four types of interpretation 1 naturalistic objects how they appear in nature ex cartoons can be natural image of a human 2 stylized flowers facing each other can be natural or man made distorted in some way by shape proportion or color object is still recognizable simplified flattened distorted changed in color or edged in line example image watercolor of a flower 3 abstract don t know really what it is non representational source imagination 4 geometric use of geometric shapes stem from imagination and portrays no object dots stripes plaids chevrons example image of the four example image dress with red and white stripes in center and blue sleeves and bottom flag as a symbolic source in a stylized interpretation 3 ARRANGEMENT distribution of the motif direction of a motif determines the usage six arrangements one two way four way allover example image 1 all over arrangements give the same effect from every angle dont have the directional problem pillow give balance and harmony in pleasing aesthetic fashion expected 2 4 way give same effect from 4 directions 3 2 way same effect from only two directions ex stripes from up and down 4 1 way only one direction realistic presentations unbalanced plaids 5 border motifs placed along the edge parallel to the selvage or edge 6 spaced self contained compositions example image umbrella with medallion in burgundy for higher quality more expensive ex for skirt or dresses or scarves ex ditsy print know this for your future pattern layout pattern is determined by its layout example image violin example of four images repeat distance from where a pattern begins and where it begins again not all patterns have identifiable repeat easier to get away with a mix matched repeat in lower quality higher quality repeats pretty much always match up pattern quality effectiveness of a pattern depends on individual motifs and their relationship to each other degree of detail more detail is usually more elegant refined less detail is more casual louder key to good patterns interesting motif shapes and proportions may exist or may be created through stylizing or abstraction example image pucci dress that i thought was ugly ex a large print you might not want interrupted by seams darts interaction bw motifs the more similar motifs are the more they seem to belong together to each other and to the whole size distribution bw foreground and background or may get illusion composition Combining patterns guidelines 1 motifs are compatible in subject 2 motifs have similar size and spacing 3 interpretations have comparable levels of detail 4 patterns have at least one color in common or the same pattern in different color schemes 5 color is compatible in all patterns an accepted harmony is used pattern attracts the eye more complex bc it can be broken down to its own design components line shape space Paisley not usually used in apparel Ex ties linings scarves floral top pattern for apparel PATTERNS IN FASHION pattern is when any visual element is repeated over extended period in apparel can be on fabric woven into the structure of a fabric or applique Motif motifs design arises from a source that is classified in four categories natural object man made objects floral patterns historical fav flowers vary in scale or complexity from mini or lingerie prints to chintz in botanical pattern the plants flowers and herbs are organized in blocks Traditional patterns have been treated the same way over many years classic textiles foulards paisley calico and liberty prints liberty of london Documentary Designs historical and cyclical batik ikat toile de jouy like a furniture pattern with little pictures on it like foulard patterns with tiny geometric motifs that repeat in a set layout plates folk patterns art nouveau Art Deco camouflage abstract geometric patterns usually in grid layout medallion pattern bathing suits example image cotton sateen medallion interior chairs with pink medallion conversational prints with animals pillows camouflage geometric madras embarassing hco shorts tartan plaids shaemful couch patterns in fabric variations in the weaving process cause diff numbers of weft warp yarns to float over each other at differing distances creating damask jacquard brocade patterns in fabric contruction applied direct discharge printing resist methods stencil screen printing rotary screen printing tie dye warp printing patterning and the grid pop art and the grid decorative appications that generate pattern by threads or yarns running through the surface embroidery eyelet trapunto quilting patchwork example image andy warhol dress TEXTURE 2 elements 1 visual 2 tactile qualities of a surface Texture vs pattern texture surface quality of an object areas of light and dark shadow glossiness are what let us know that there is texture might not necessarily see the pattern more subtle pattern measurable we have a set pattern etc less subtle the distinction bw texture and pattern seems to be wherther the surface arouses our sense of touch first or merely provides designs appealing to the eye although every texture makes some sort of pattern not every pattern could be considered a texture 3 Sense that involved with texture Sight touch sound VISUAL PERCEPTION OF TEXTURE directional vs non directional smooth vs rough coarse vs fine regular vs irregular when we cant touch a surface to feel it our sighht becomes a sense of touch every surface has texture implied visual texture which we can see due to various visual design techniques but not be physically felt ex oil painting FOUR DETERMINANTS OF TEXTURE 1 micro basic fiber content chemical composition of basic element this determines performance and feel 2
