"Confidence comes from a space of humility. It is spawned when we dare to see the world through an alternate lens. It grows when we have the courage to embrace the experience of the unknown and the unknowable."
Step 6: Texture and mood
Texture is what something feels like.
- Which textures would you associate with each feeling?
Try feeling any surfaces and fabrics around the room you’re in for a texture that might inspire you.
What do they feel like?
Do they match your chosen feeling/s? - Add these to your new mind map. You can write them down first or sketch them
For more ideas about texture:
Want to create your own textured papers? Try our exercise ‘Taking Rubbings’ or download and print our example texture rubbings.
Look for images of textures in magazines to find the best match
Find textured materials around the house or garden that could be used in a collage: textured wallpaper, a scrap of velvet or silk, a leaf or a shiny button etc.
Texture Pick List:
Spiky, rough, prickly, smooth, shiny, bobbly, scratchy, soft, slippy, dusty, mottled, uneven, sharp, furry, bumpy
Here are some examples of textures found around the home.
Example:
Look at our example below showing the theme of ‘going for a walk in the park’. The mind map illustrates, through the use of colours and textures, a range of feelings connected with this activity.
Inspired: yellow / sparkly
Calm: pink/soft
Relaxed: blue / mottled
