Drawing II 32x48	2D Design 11x15	18x24 Acrylic on Paper For a design 1 course, this piece looked at how texture can be used to create a poly-rhythmic pattern.
The students were asked to gather a variety of textures through frottage (rubbings), looking at visual manifestation of physical texture. They then cut the pieces up to assemble a collage using design gestalt principles.	Pencil on paper, 22x30 The assignment was to explore how to create the illusion of texture in drapery with the aid of chiaroscuro	Charcoal and conte on paper, 18x24 Another example of positive vs. negative space and visual texture.
