Tues. May 3 TEXTURE STUDIES

Students chose objects with strong textural qualities and then made "continuous field" studies of the textures alone.  A continuous field composition is one that has no top or bottom and extends off all edges of the image area.  The actual shape of the object was omitted. This gives the textures a more fantastic or otherworldly quality. Technically speaking, these are elaborate value studies that happen to be of textures. Drawings by Taylor Bihn, Michelle Phillips (in-progress) and Derek Murphy (in-progress) respectively.
