Assignment 6: TEXTURE


1: Immediate Response: The photo is very ... green. From the angle it was taken, it looks a little bit like the top of some kind of primitive forest. It portrays texture fairly well, however.


2: Objective Description: The picture is that of a bit of green carpet. It was highly zoomed in to get the full effect of the texture of the carpet.


3: Formal Matters: The space is completely filled by the carpet and the lines give proof of the texture. The color is solid and very uneventful and doesn't really catch your eye.


4: The Story It Tells: Dirty Carpet Baggers: A spot appears on a priceless antique carpet. The mistress of the household is horrified, sprining an investigation to discover the culprit. After many questions and hours of delving for information, the mistress is finally informed that one of the maids had accidentally set a heavy bag of trash down on the floor as she was resting her arms. The mistress ordered the spot removed and the maid was mildly rebuffed.


5: The Work in the World: In Richard Serra’s drawings, it is easy to see the different textures he uses. His textures are extremely lifelike, giving the impression that you can reach out your hand and feel the texture for yourself. I was happy to note that the picture of my chosen texture is much the same way.
