In this discussion we will look at videos that feature artists working with Texture & Value in their studio practices. The mediums range from painting to photography.

After watching the videos please choose an artist or body of work that has been presented to write about. Please post a paragraph(200 to 400 words) about the work and the use of texture & value in the work. Feel free to look further into the work of the artists via their websites or other publications.

Think about how the works connect to the element we are discussing. How do you see the connections? Where does the interesting moment lie in the work? What peaks your interest about their studio practice or their medium? How does their content impact the compositions?

This is meant to be a place to discuss your views, and voice your response to an artists work. Any information collected should be support or context for your analysis.
