In Part A of this project, you are creating the single cell or unit for the larger repeating pattern in Part B. Remember that the single cell is the smallest segment of a pattern that when repeated over and over, creates a new, larger pattern. The goal of Part B is to take your single cell and turn it into a pattern.
For the presentation of your gift, you will pick your favorite version of the pattern and wrap the gift in this paper. However, a wrapped box isnt always enough, no matter how cool the paper is. Think about embellishing your gift with handmade ribbons, ties, flowers or other decorative objects that relate to its contents. The wrapping should be so tempting, so inviting, so luscious (thats right, luscious), that people will be fighting over who will get to open your gift! Supplies: Sketch, tracing, drawing papers, photocopies, pencils, pens, paints, brushes, scanner, computer, printer, Illustrator, Photoshop, ruler, scissors, tape, beads, glitter, string, gift box, etc. and whatever else you might want to use. Project Requirements (Bring these 3 things to the critique!): Original single cell 3 versions of your pattern, minimum 11 x 17 Wrapped Gift Texture Vocabulary: Texture: the surface quality of a two-dimensional surface or a three-dimensional volume. Tactile Texture: texture that can actually be felt. Visual Texture: texture that simulates a tactile texture. Density: the extent to which compositional parts are spread out or crowded together. Visual connections occur more easily in high-density compositions. Orientation: the angle at which a visual element is positioned within a composition. Pattern: A design composed of repeated elements that are usually varied to produce interconnections and implied movement. Unit: The basic element of a pattern (single cell). Repeat: A pattern composed of two or more identical elements or units. Network: A repeating combination of curved or straight lines; the basic understructure of all repeat patterns. Grid: A regular network or pattern of (usually straight) lines used to correctly place a pattern on a surface. Rhythm: the repetition of multiple parts in a composition to create a pattern of sound and silence, positive and negative or other contrasting forces. Motif: A theme, or dominant recurring visual elements, forms or subjects. Movement: a sense of motion that is created by the conscious placement of images and objects in a composition to provide visual cues for the viewers eyes to travel across the surface. Contrast: strong differences between two or more things. Collage: An image constructed from visual or verbal fragments initially designed for another purpose. Embellishments: Increasing the beauty or meaning of something by adding ornaments or decorations.
