SKILLS & CONCEPTS

The foundation task develops technical control through structured dry medium practice — value scales, mark-making, blending, and gradation across multiple materials. The texture workshop encourages open experimentation with layered surfaces, mixed materials, and abstract tactile composition. Students work visually throughout — visual references and open working grids. A natural unit for building material confidence while opening students to experimental and abstract surface thinking.
