Project #3: TEXTURE/ FIGURE/GROUND, 50/50/b/w and PATTERN Toggle navigation

This project consisted on 20 rubbing textures arranged on a 14″x 17″ grid with no spaces in between. After i was pleased with the composition created I traced and transferred the 20 rubbings into bristol paper to ended up filling the traced parts with marker. The idea of this project was to use a 50/50 ratio of black to white so it would reflected a high contrast between night and dark all around the composition.
When I started working on the textures I focus on different elements, from shoes, tables, chairs, and even trees and leaves. After finding the right textures I traced carefully every rubbing to conclude with the filling. Before I used the marker I was a little concern about the 50/50 result, not only because sounded confusing and difficult but I feel the contrast result gives the composition a terrific effect.
