Jude J: Texture Stitch Challenge
|
Texture was the theme for class #3 in the Spring session of Hand Stitching ONLINE (offered through
The Art League School). Discussion focused on the concepts of Actual Texture (texture you can touch) versus Visual Texture (the representation of texture using marks) in art. Marks made with hand stitching can cover both categories as seen above in Jude J.'s piece. The marks created with stitch are representative of a nest or fur (visually) but one could also feel the actual texture of the raised stitches on the fabric's surface.

Another topic discussed was that of Stitch Density. Dense areas of stitching are more effective when surrounded by areas of less dense stitching.

In this class session, students were also challenged to create a "new" stitch by combining stitches covered in the first three sessions. Jill B. met the challenge and even drew these beautiful illustrations!

I continue to be inspired by watching my students explore each class theme. I hope you enjoy viewing their work with a focus on Texture.

SUPER COOL WORK!!! Great stitches and texture! So impressed!
ReplyDeleteThanks Glorianne. This was certainly a very talented group...a number of them had little or no hand stitching experience. They just took off!
