• 9 Classifications of Shape:Distortion 


  Disregards shapes & forms of nature,

  purposely exaggerating them Sometimes meant to provoke an emotional response on the part of the viewer. Sometimes it serves merely to emphasize the design elements inherent in the subject matter.

• Five (5) Functions of Texture

  1. It can be enjoyed for its sensuous, decorative quality alone.

  2. It produces beautiful contrasts between the different surfaces emphasized created by the careful rendering of light & dark patterns on the surface of the object.
• Two (2) Kinds of Texture - Thru Light


  Depends to a large extent upon the role of light in casting shadows
• Five (5) Functions of Texture

  3. It can be used as a means of description by 2-dimensional code of repeated patterns in units of line & spaces.

  4. It clarifies space that it can create a greater degree of spatial depth as well as volume. 5. It creates illusion that objects of varying densities produce differing patterns.

  textural
• Pattern


  Created when a unit is repeated whether the unit if felt or seen.

  • A unit thus repeated, as a

  thematic element becomes a motif.
• Textural Symbolism in Interiors

  a. Smooth textures

  • Seem cold & when predominate may feel chilly but impersonal &

  ominous.
