Exam 3 Study Guide CTE3201 Pattern Texture Illusions Value Light Principles Illusions in Space and Illusions in Motion Pattern Pattern and underlying structure that organizes surfaces or structures in a consistent regular manner o Can be described as a repeating unit of shape or form o The repetition of a visual element in a regular and anticipated sequence or pattern o Aspects of pattern Source Natural found in nature Man made evoke specific memories definite associations Imagination lines shapes which are not representational of actual objects Symbolism representation of something other than an object Interpretation how the sources is presented or interpreted by the artist Naturalistic objects appear as they actually are o Cartoons can be from a natural source Stylized natural man made objects that have been distorted in the same way o Shape proportion color o Object is still recognizable Abstract non representational source is imagination Geometric stem from imagination portray no objects o Dots o Stripes o Plaids o Chevrons Arrangement Pattern Fashion Pattern attracts the eye Motif o Can be broken down into its own line shape and space o Design arises from a source that is classified in one of four catagories Natural object Originate in nature Lend themselves easily to patterns Man made objects experience Represent those that are familiar as a result of Carry special significance Imagination Represent a cross sensory interpretation Originate from geometric forms Symbolism Refers to motifs that represent a non concrete idea o Political movement religion organization o Logos flags religious political symbols o Realistic presentation motifs have their true colors highlights and o Stylized motif remains recognizable but is simplified flattened distorted changed in color or edged in line shadows Floral Patterns o Flowers vary in their scale or complexity from mini prints to chintz Chintz a polished or glazed cotton o In botanical patterns the flowers are organized within blocks o Historical favorite Conversational patterns o Tell a story to communicate a message o Man made objects or symbols o Pop Art movement Traditional Patterns o Traditional designs have been treated the same way over many years o Classic textiles Foulards Paisley Calico Liberty prints Documentary Designs o Batlik o Ikat o Toile de Jouy o Folk pattern o Art Deco o Camouflage Foulards patterns with tiny geometric motifs that repeat in a set layout in the format of a grid Patterns in fabric o Variations in the weaving process cause different numbers of weft and warp yarns to float over each other at differing distances creating Damask Jacquard Brocade o Patterns are applied to fabric surface using Direct printing Discharge printing Resist methods Rotary screen printing Tie dying Warp printing Stencil Screen printing running through the surface Embroidery Eyelet Trapunto or quilting Patchwork Architecture Graphic design Art o Decorative applications that generate pattern by threads or yarns Patterning the grid that defines the organization of pattern o Regular intersection of vertical and horizontal lines o Defining force in o Andy Warhol set up his images using the grid as a road map Pop Art and the Grid Types of layouts o Random o Allover o Stripe o Plaid o Border o Engineered Pattern Layout o Pattern is determined by its layout o Motifs may vary in direction from One way Two way Four way Tossed design Patterns in the Fashion Industry o Pattern is influenced by the change of trends in the fashion industry o Season is also an influence on pattern o Companies may feature patterns that are designed as collections or coordinates Texture Light and Fashion Texture o Designers use texture to express aesthetic perspective o Texture adds variety o Surface texture reveals itself by touch o The feel of apparel is critical Tactile Texture and Visual Texture o Actual texture or physical texture is used for the form the surface takes that causes the sensation when it is touched o Trompe l oeil texture is used to fool the eye o Abstract texture displays a simulated texture but then abstracts or simplifies it o Invented texture is pure invention through the use of the media The structural Elements of Fabric o Fiber Synthetic fibers Natural fibers o Yarn Filament fiber yarn Novelty yarn Staple fiber yarn o Construction Plain weave Twill Satin Dobby or jacquard Knit Marcrame Felt o Finish Experiencing Fabric Chemical or mechanical treatments o True familiarity does not come from a computer or classroom o Textiles must be seen and handled Aesthetic Properties of Texture o Drape o Hand o Density o Luster o Surface Control o Thermal Character Texture and Design o Fabric dictating design o Listening to fabric each fabric has a sensual quality revealed by its type o May inspire one or a group of garments o Fabric defines the garment s silhouette o Wavelength the distance between the peak of one wave and the next o Frequency refers to the speed of the wave vibrations o Light behaves differently depending on the surface it strikes o The amount of light perception is also determined by the angle of Light Light and Surface incidence Light and Environment o By controlling surfaces designers can obtain desired effects o Innovative approaches are used to link fashion with lighting using o Fashion show lighting is a key element of production that the designer technology can control Four Categories of Light o Reflected light o Represented light o Emitted light o Projected light Light s Captivating Quality o Designers may also stress sensuality seduction o Moment synchronism and digital technologies involve the wearer o Designers may choose the functional purpose of generating light Designer Profile Yves Saint Laurent o Extensive career as a haute couture designer o Prolific contribution to the fashion industry o Command of texture in all its varieties Designer Profile Mariano Fortuny o Painter and lighting designer before he began in clothing and textiles o More interested in clothing as an art form than as fashion Illusions Visual Illusions Causes of Illusions o Used to control appearance increase cultural acceptance o Illusions result when we mistake visual cues o Visual perception means choosing the best interpretation means choosing the best interpretation of available cues o Physical base physiology of eye nerves brain o Learned base experience leads to assumption and expectations o 2 major types of illusions Static Geometric occurs
