TEXTURE

Everything has a texture or a surface. Texture can be:

Rough Bumpy Slick Scratchy Smooth Silky Soft Prickly

... The list is endless!!

Bee ceiling

Wool fabric

Types of textures

Tactile Visual Natural Artificial

Tactile texture

We perceive it by touching an object. Every material has a different touch,

so it is a different texture.

Visual texture

When we represent a tactile texture using graphic elements, we get a visual texture.

We can create visual textures using different art procedures: scrapping, stencilling, printing...

Natural textures

They belong to natural elements, like the skin of an elephant, the cortex of a tree or the surface of a rose petal.

Artificial textures

The surface of any object made by us: steel, paper, different kinds of fabrics...

Textures in Art Creation

Sometimes, they want to trasmit emotions and expressivity: strength, softness, warmness...

Activities: Practising with textures

1. Web pages http://www.jacksonpollock.org/ Collage Machine 1.0 Remix, interactive collage Collage maker

Activities: Practising with textures2. Transforming Artworks Choose an artwork and search for

information about its autor and art style.

Transform it using art procedures to create texture effects: scrapping, collage, painting with different materials (tempera, wax crayons...)

The result must be something like this:
